Chapter 4, 5 Review by https://padlet.com/inpac31/b36srdtm55jjlf3y In Practice en-us 2021-01-19 15:21:30 UTC 2021-02-02 18:47:00 UTC hello@padlet.com Build your Calm inpac31 https://padlet.com/inpac31/b36srdtm55jjlf3y/wish/1105969252 Chapters 4 and 5 were focused on taking care of your self to help build your calm at work. My focus has been on exercising for a short period of time with my family when I get home. There has been a lot of stress in and out of work and this is helping me take time to focus on my life outside of work. I have not been as successful as I would like, but working everyday to help make this a priority.]]> 2021-01-20 14:45:13 UTC https://padlet.com/inpac31/b36srdtm55jjlf3y/wish/1105969252 Relief https://padlet.com/inpac31/b36srdtm55jjlf3y/wish/1107475734 Exercising the 1st thing in the morning makes it easy and eliminates the potential for procrastination! :-) ]]> 2021-01-20 19:46:51 UTC https://padlet.com/inpac31/b36srdtm55jjlf3y/wish/1107475734 My attitude determines the atmosphere and vibe of my classroom. https://padlet.com/inpac31/b36srdtm55jjlf3y/wish/1107647889 2021-01-20 20:33:16 UTC https://padlet.com/inpac31/b36srdtm55jjlf3y/wish/1107647889 I have tried to be more patient with myself so I can be more patient with my students/families. https://padlet.com/inpac31/b36srdtm55jjlf3y/wish/1107955736 2021-01-20 22:40:03 UTC https://padlet.com/inpac31/b36srdtm55jjlf3y/wish/1107955736 https://padlet.com/inpac31/b36srdtm55jjlf3y/wish/1108314047 I have really been working on taking a few minutes before my students come in the door to reset my mind to help set the tone for the day]]> 2021-01-21 02:56:43 UTC https://padlet.com/inpac31/b36srdtm55jjlf3y/wish/1108314047 "Take care of your body.

Taking time for oneself is not always the priority when feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities either imposed or self-induced. Life is full of opportunities 'to do' things. thinesley1 https://padlet.com/inpac31/b36srdtm55jjlf3y/wish/1155313265 REGARDLESS...PRESS THE PAUSE
Knowing our attitudes impact those around us help us desire to 'up our game' with calm. Therefore, if we cannot do 'self care' for ourselves...do it for our kids in the classroom. I like the idea of 'building breaks' into the schedule and inserting 'mindful minutes' intentionally in the day as well, especially prior to large projects/testing to help student release anxiety.
A take-away for me is to leave school 1-2 times a week 'on time'.
I have tried this over the last few weeks...so far, so good!
I am feeling the benefit.]]> 2021-02-02 18:33:29 UTC https://padlet.com/inpac31/b36srdtm55jjlf3y/wish/1155313265
