What boundaries have you set or will you set to help find a work-life balance? How do you unplug? What is one thing you wish you had done from the beginning to try and help yourself survive this first half of your year? What is one thing you are going to do regularly beginning in January to help yourself take a break from teaching/working?
Reflection: With teaching and coaching the majority of the first semester I really struggled to find time to myself. Then I decided to coach club volleyball as well. This makes it really hard to find time to plan for teaching let alone time to myself. I have began working out a couple of times a week, and this just makes me feel better about myself and I think shifts my mood. Starting in January I plan to work out every day of the week with the exception of one or two days here and there. I really believe that living healthier makes me happier. I really enjoy competing with others or being on a sports team but I could not find the time this year so far. During the Spring, I would love to get a volleyball, basketball, or softball team together, just to play once a week and get my mind off school!
