Part 1 takeaways: In this series Aaron talks a lot about negativeity and how to avoid it. Negativeity is permanant, pervasive and personal. Teaching is a field where it is crucial to be in a good headspace because it can be detrimental to you and your students or coworkers.

Part 2 takeaways: In part 2, Aaron goes in depth on how to cultivate possitive self talk within yourself. Some of the suggestions I found to be most useful and related to my life are to find the humor in life and teaching, avoid negative traps which can sometimes be in your school and surround yourself with possitivity.

Part 3: In part 3 of the series Heather Sanford reviews how core emotions are programs for actions and how to be adaptive to "negative" emotions. I found this helpful to not only myself but also the students in which I'll be serving. Heather also reviews the change triangle which goes in depth on how certain emotions go through changes and how you can control which ones come more frequently.

Part 4: In part 4, there are learning targets for students but instead of saying students, it was crossed out and said teachers. Often times, students are the ones who are expected to reflect, find the value, identify emotions but how many teachers are taking the leadership to do this? The workshop defined words like courage and moral character to help teachers be the best version of themselves.
