“In times of uncertainty, your habits can ground you.

When you feel overwhelmed, practice 1 minute of mindfulness.

When you feel restless, do a 1-minute workout.

When the world seems uncontrollable, focus on what you can control.”

– @JamesClear

When seeing educators doing amazing things online-sometimes rather than celebrate their success we get wrapped up in professional jealousy (PJ). PJ is a real thing and it drags you down & stresses you out. Guard your heart. Celebrate the talents of others, as well as your own.

Current podcast I am listening to today, second one this week from former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy on holistic health implications of loneliness and the prescription of connection. Timely and timeless wisdom. 🤟🏼

[Daniel J. Siegel @DrDanSiegel]

I don't know if you heard the interview on Hidden Brain with Vivek Murthy, ex-Surgeon General of the US, speaking on the importance of human connections. Beautiful conversation about how our lives are meant to be shared in compassionate connections: https://t.co/sAod1BxmeQ

Trauma & Kids: "Think your child is being manipulative? Nope. That would be the upper brain. Manipulation is a plan. Trauma is lower brain. Survival. Put your hand on a hot stove. Would you pull it away faster if I gave you ice cream?" @stephaniekennelly https://t.co/x451vvKO4X

Perfect illustration of how a big vision meets early obstacles.

Many doubters will tell you to go smaller or turn back.

At the start of a new school year, I always find myself coming back to these wise words from Rita Pierson. #sketchnote by @sylviaduckworth #edchat #teaching #cpchat

“Will she feel valued in school? Will her teachers look to find and bring out her talents and strengths, or only focus on developing things she struggles to do?If she misses time in school, will she feel that her contributions are missed?”
