Helping students to immerse stories into recovery speaks to me because when they are struggling, I like to point out positives in their day.  Letting students know that I believe in them gives them the confidence to work through hard situations.  Helping them to find the resources they need, whether that be physical materials or to speak with their counselor, gives them a positive outlook and helps them to figure out strategies in the future to make them successful within their school day and in their personal lives.  

Taking the time to self care is very important to me.  We all need to find the balance in our lives that help us to reconnect with who we are.  Some different aspects of self care are social, physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual.  I liked the advice in the video that said to keep our brains flexible and not get rigid.  This will help to create healthy relationships.  

Staying positive and taking the time to be present can help us to have compassion satisfaction.  Focusing on strengths and putting solutions into action with resiliency practices will help us to be successful.  Caring about our students, making them laugh, asking how their day is, and believing in them helps to create relationships that are resilient.
