Self Care- I have always thought that self care was the most important of these. If we are to help others be their best and do their best it starts with us. Physically being our best, taking care of our health leads to a better mind body experience. Emotionally being able to control our emotions and keep them in check. When you are emotionally distraught for what ever reason it should not come out in your classroom. intellectually being able to open your mind to new ideals and experiences of your students leads to better understanding. Socially it is important to have someone to decompress with, groups that accept you as you are and you feel relaxed around. Spiritually to each their own, but the importance of that solitude and reflection
Trusting the strength and resilience. Knowing your own limits of what you are able to to, what is within your power to control/change is very important leaning to let go of the things you cannot do and give them up to someone who can or who should be doing them. Students while young are still learning and can with the right help handle many situations. I like to think about what helped me when I was their age and what didn't, what I wish I would have had that may have helped me better.
