What are your anchors? What’s one thing I can realistically do for myself even on a bad day? What one habit makes a big difference for my energy or mindset? by Kathe Tawhiwhirangi-Perry

Have a shower, a good yummy meal, spend time with my partner, and have a good bloody sleep 😂

Find something to laugh about.

Connecting with non teaching friends

It's easy to get consumed in everything 'school.' Having time with non-teaching pals can give you some much needed perspective.

Look for 5 positive things from the day.

Talk it out with others

After every play, I bring the whole class down to the mat for deep breathing to calm things down. They don't know that it is for me 😂

One Habit: I check with my friends on a daily basis. If we do not see each other we make an effort to at least say hi and give a hug.

Meditation time

We have 30 minutes for lunch - we are not in ratio during that time so I make sure I leave the building and find quiet - some days are very loud :)

Eating while ranting to my poor husband 😆

Take five quiet minutes to breathe and reset, without guilt.

I go and get myself an iced matcha and something nice to eat. Always think tomorrow is a new day.

I use a timer on my breaks and if work talk is happening (from management) I pause my timer until the conversation is over. My lunch break isn’t work!!😂

disconnecting from the world - turn that wifi off for an hour and just leave in the present with the people and pets at home

Play a game with my own children.

I get frustrated that the children I teach get more of my time and energy than my own.

NO social media. There can be so much overstimulating content there too.

Spend plenty time talking to my amazing husband. I am blessed to work with my closest friends and so we lean heavily on one another and I am very lucky for that!
