This workshop is dedicated to those educators who are currently practicing self-preservation rituals and want to reinforce routines for this school year. It is also for educators who want to start their journey of self-care by creating healthy habit plans to achieve more consistent positive well-being throughout the school year. We will begin by welcoming everyone to our webinar. Included in the time together: a guided meditation, journaling, and breath work exercises. We will also participate in mindful movement, a progressive relaxation, and additional writing followed by farewells.

What You Will Learn:

  • Educators will develop an understanding of the importance of self-preservation routines that set them up for success.

  • Educators will recognize how engaging in healthy habits will help move them through times of stress and hardship to return to a place of joy and well-being.

  • Educators will define their own ideas of emotional well-being, stress management, & positive perspective.

  • Educators will begin to prioritize plans (or commit to current practices) to be proactive about taking care of themselves and their emotions.
