Wellness and Resources

My Wellness Plan

I take my wellness as a future educator very seriously to prevent burnout in myself and to keep the classroom environment fun, positive, and energetic. I have used the HEARTcare model to hold myself steady and create a plan to promote my sustainable teaching practice. Some things I enjoy doing to keep myself grounded are:

Going for walks
Ensuring my preparation and planning is done ahead of time to minimize stress
Spending time with friends and family
Keeping my spaces at home and work clean and organized
Physical exercises
Watching movies or listening to music
Making art
Positive affirmations in my environment and that I use to ground myself
