If something is going to change drastically in the space or in a class; if there will be a loud or chaotic activity; etc.

I have a reminder set everyday to nudge me to learn or make something new, reflect & exercise/go outside.

Consistency is really hard! One thing I try to do is having a routine that serves as a structure - like a sandbox - within which I be flexible and adaptable as i need.

Box breathing relaxation technique: how to calm feelings of stress or anxiety

# data[].attributes.body
Very important to be easy on yourself when things do not go to plan, or you are having an off day (or week, month).

Writing myself kudos notes, or sweet messages on post-its, maybe setting up treats for myself at the end of a long day (like laying out my fave pjs and snack nicely for when I get home). Practicing demonstrating deep care for myself, so I am nourished and ready to share with others

for example: all sitting in a circle vs "teacher" standing at the front
In a breakout room, someone shared about getting on the same level as the students (for example, sitting at the table with them to show them something, instead of standing at the head of the class)

Breaking down that barrier or teacher, student, and creating a space where we are all learners together

teaming up with a friend to try implementing a new routine. Either together (like, taking a walk) or remotely (texting to remind each other to do that 3 minute breathing excersize, or sharing a 5 minute stretching video)

1-1 check-in, getting past feeling "stuck"

# data[].attributes.body
classroom set up is usually in clusters (4-5/table), intro to activities of the day are outlined at the beginning, then i always try to check in with each student (i ask if it's ok to sit next to them) and we look at and chat about their work together.  sometimes this chat is receptive and reciprocal. but sometimes it's met with shrugs or i don't knows. in that case i'll suggest ideas or even just a different medium (markers vs paint) to get through points of feeling "stuck".

When bringing in activities or sharing a plan for the group - asking the students what has been inspiring them in the week/if there are any things they wanted to do in our time together and then making sure there's spaciousness within the plan to include their leadership/ideas (balancing improvisation/flexibility with safety/structure)

Through this work shop I have learned that I truly enjoy visualization techniques as a way to wind down, centre and ground myself. Emotions can feel very overwhelming at times and taking a moment to sit, relax and transport to a different mental space really helps bring me back to the present moment - I have a very active imagination so this helps a lot!

Opening + Closing, Adapting to students needs  

# data[].attributes.body
Something that could help in a classroom setting is opening and closing activities. Too often I find myself jumping right into the lesson. This leaves my students having to interrupt the lesson in-order to tell me about the silly thing their dog did this week. I'm going to figure out a way that I could begin and end my lessons with some kind of story telling.

Another thing I need to work on, is adapting my teaching style to that of my students. Personally, I thrive on the tough love approach. I realize that this doesn't work for everyone. I need to do a some research and learn how to make a more supportive atmosphere for those who learn differently.

I spend time twice a day once in the morning once at night giving myself affirmations / 50 positive affirmations each time to be specific!

At the end of our MPS we take the time to ask the students to reflect over what happened in the last couple of days of workshops. How did they feel in the beginning when they first met us vs how they feel at the end when they completed the work, We always get some nice and positive answers!

There are times when i need to wind down and stop myself from over thinking or when i simply need to ground myself from everyday. I find it helpful especially when my day is filled out by meetings, classes, my 2 year old nephew, my daughter and the occasional family drama...lol. I sit back and the only thing i focus on is my body. my breathing, the faint sound of my heart beat. Sometimes, touch my fingertips and rub them together.... the feeling is quite interesting. It may sound silly but it works for me :) -Nessie
