Written by “Our being is the currency of our doing.”
This quote sums up why I consider my mental well-being as the most important and most urgent. How I show up in the classroom every day dictates the outcome of my impact. If I prioritize mindfulness by intensionally making it urgent, everything else slides to the not urgent section of importance. The productivity associated with being “well”, creates time for us to complete tasks before they become urgent. When we are “well”, we are more likely to handle crisis scenarios in our schools with a sense of calm, clarity and stoicism.
I intend to focus my cohort21 experience on leading change through well-being. Our well-being influences our engagement. If our kids aren’t engaged shouldn’t mindfulness be the most urgent important?
“Our well-being influences our engagement” – I really resonated with this sentence Bob.
I wanted to share a resource to you called The Well Teacher (https://www.humanworkspress.com/products/thewellteacher), that book has been a gentle reminder that I need to be well in order for my students to be well. Hope that it gives you value in your wellness journey as well.
