One key practice that resonated with me is to connect with colleagues. This means to be real with someone to share struggles, strengths and gain a different perspective on situations with students. The goal with connecting with a colleague is to be able to relate with someone and together have a better understanding of your role and limitations as an educator.
Another key practice is self care. Self care encompasses a wide variety of aspects that when we are doing well in each area provide centering and balance to our lives. Self care is the physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual and emotional aspects of our lives. One comment that I hadn't thought of before is thinking of the intellectual well being as being flexible and adaptable to situations. As educators, I think this is especially important that we don't get stuck in the same way of thinking all the time.
