1. Power of Little Actions

Do a little bit a lot of the time- emphasizes the impact small, consistent actions have on self-care.  This approach isn't about dramatic life changes but integrating manageable practices into daily life.  It could be as simple as:

• A short daily meditation to clear the mind.

• Regular brief walks to rejuvenate during breaks.

• Allocating time each day to pursue a personal hobby or interest.

2. Setting Boundaries

Jobs in education can often blur the lines between work and personal time, leading to burnout.  It is vital to:

• Designate specific times for work and ensure they don't encroach on personal time.

• Create a physical or mental separation between your workspace and personal space.

• Use technology wisely to avoid constant work-related communications.  

3. Embracing flexbility and forgiveness

Educators need to be flexible yet strong, forgiving themselves for inevitable mistakes.  Implementing practices such as:

• Breathing techniques for stress relief.

• Reflections and adjustment of teaching methods.

• Seeking and offering support among colleagues for shared challenges.

4. Taking control of your inputs

What we consume, whether it is the food we eat, the media we engage with, or the thoughts we entertain, plays a significant role in our overall well-being.

• Choosing healthy and nourishing foods.

• Engaging with positive and uplifting media.

• Fostering a positive mindset through affirmations and constructive self-talk.
