“My students are the reason I’m there, and even on my most stressful days, they make it all worth it,”

Even with all the stress, the students are worth it. You just have to find an outlet to defeat that stress before it defeats you.

"It is easy for teachers to carry stress with us, whether we're worrying about a student or thinking about the million things we have to do." This sentence really connected with me. I am constantly stressing about my to do list, or worrying about 1 particular student. I need to find a way to let go of all of that and leave it at school. Easier said than done!! I knew this job was stressful from the beginning, but the students make it all worth it.

This is so true. I do this all the time. I will go into work when I am sick or ignore issues at home to keep my focus on work.

Interrupt negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones. This is a quote I have been living by this whole semester. If you only focus on the negative, nothing will ever change. Its only when you find a positive in the situation to focus on, that it will change.

Be wary of the drawbacks to being a perfectionist. It is okay to have a lesson go not 100% perfectly, or have students perform something not all the way up to par.

"Sometimes we’re the one with dirty feet and the negativity comes from ourselves. Sometimes our thoughts echo negative things people have said to us that we won’t let go. We can master our thoughts and redirect our abilities. Interrupt your negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones. Even if you have to talk to yourself. Redirect your thoughts and regain your mind."
