Even after twenty-plus years in education I still feel like I need to push through. I need to get things done. I take on more and more because others don't. So, I am always going in different directions. Therefore, this helped me realize that self-care is important. If I step back and stay home when I am not well. Also, just stop and be present in the moment during class, I think I will be better for them and myself.
The second thing is connecting with colleagues. I tend to step back in my fatigue. I don't want to put myself out there. But, I think it would be helpful to maybe take your lunchtime to walk with someone for 20 minutes. It would be good to take yourself out of the school and connect with someone who understands your position. I like the idea of having someone who understands and will encourage you. It is important to have someone who can give us constructive criticism and be able to lift each other up. Not to complain but to help cope and find solutions.
