Mindful Monday: Teachers Are Like Glow Sticks

The end is officially insight. We are within reach. There are only 9 weeks left. But before we make it to the end, thank goodness, spring break is around the corner.

Teachers are notorious for pushing through, often to the point where we have nothing left to give. This is why spring break couldn’t come at a better time.  In order to make it through the last stretch of the year, we need this break. This next week off is more than just a luxury; ​it’s a necessity.

Did you know there are seven different types of rest? Taking the time to rest next week is more than just sleeping in. Yes, we all could use some physical rest, but we need more than that. I feel like we would all benefit from some mental rest, some sensory rest, and even a little emotional rest. Be honest with yourself and do what’s best for you next week ​in order to make it through the end of this school year ​intact. 

So whatever your spring break looks like, I hope you make time for rest: mental rest, physical rest, social rest, all of i​t...so when we return, you can shine bright​!
