Leaves of Change: Reflect on Growth by Erica Beyer

beyere2 — 2025-10-09 18:31:44 UTC

One area I’d like to improve is organizing my Google Drive. I started out strong with clearly labeled folders, but over time I’ve become less consistent and now often have to search by document name. In every other area of my work I’m highly organized—my Google Drive is the one exception!

I will let go of uncomfortable shoes! I’m on my feet and walking all day, and I deserve comfort—no more sore feet by the end of the day!

Let go of feeling like I have to respond!

When I am home---I need to be present at home for my family. I have disabled DOJO messages and my email is no longer connected to my phone. It can always wait until the morning.

I want to be more "digital" in the classroom.

After being out for some time, I feel like I am playing catchup on all the fun things that are out there. It just takes time to learn it, and that I don't have a lot of!

I will let go of negative people/things.

Whatever tries to still my joy, it has to go. Keeping those people at arms length and knowing when to step away from the environment.

Being accessible 24/7

2025-10-14 12:34:34 UTC

I need to do a better job of being fully present with my family & not constantly asking them to "wait a minute" so I can respond to work related items. I want to let go of the feeling I have to be constantly accessible for work.

Me time!

2025-10-14 12:36:13 UTC

I would like to intentionally set aside some "me time!" I feel so much better when I work out and eat healthy. And that takes time to plan the meals & set aside time to do the workouts... I want to grow in the area of taking care of myself! :)

I will let go of always saying yes and trying to think what is best for me:)

2025-10-14 14:03:05 UTC

I would like to try to make more time for myself. I am always doing for others and make very little time for myself.

What Matters Most

boydm2_1 — 2025-10-14 14:27:26 UTC

I would like to be more intentional about focusing less on the to-do lists/check lists in the classroom and putting more focus on bringing joy by doing what's best for my students each day.

Guilt-Free

boydm2_1 — 2025-10-14 15:05:40 UTC

I will let go of feeling guilty for setting boundaries that allow me to leave school at school—both mentally and tangilby—so that I can be fully present at home with my family.

Feeling Guilty

2025-10-14 15:14:43 UTC

I need to stop feeling so guilty of not getting everything completed in a day. I try to remind myself that I am only 1 person and I can not juggle everything all at once and produce a quality learning environment. One step at a time.

Stop putting myself last

2025-10-14 15:17:49 UTC

Trying to do everything at school and home can be overwhelming and I put myself/ my health last. I started several years ago working out trying to focus on my health. I have started letting that go because of time and trying to do everything. I need to say "NO" and get back to the gym. For a stress relief and for my overall health.

Pretty sandals are uncomfortable

“Dressing well with stylish shoes is great, but there comes a time when comfort takes priority.”

Let it go!

2025-10-14 17:27:25 UTC

I need to let go of the pressure I put on myself to get it all done...all the time.

Grow!

2025-10-14 17:31:30 UTC

I want to get back on track with weekly exercise goals and stick to it!

I love to read!

2025-10-14 17:58:13 UTC

I would like to make more time to read for recreational reasons.

Feeling Guilty

2025-10-14 18:46:52 UTC

I need to try and remember that I am only 1 person and it's O.K. not to get everything done each day! I am my own worst enemy when it comes to getting it ALL done each day and feeling like a failure when I don't.

I do not like to leave anything unfinished on my desk ( it makes me go CRAZY)!!!

Being more "positive"

2025-10-14 18:51:17 UTC

It is so easy to find the things that are wrong or not going my way, and I would love to try and see the good that is going on around me and focus on it more. Try and make it a priority each day to see those positives and become a positive person/example at work!
