Tomorrow marks the beginning of my thirteenth year in education! If you’re an educator, you know that these years fly by; and in this day and age, thirteen years in education is no small feat. Fortunately for me, helping others is my passion. I’m in my element when I see students and teachers growing and moving closer to their goals.
As a mentor and coach of teachers, it is critical that I am grounded so that I can be a source of light for them. So, how do I set myself up for SUCCESS?
S-Seek out time for meditation each morning-Quieting the thoughts in my mind=an alert day.
U-Understand that everyone is on their own journey- I’m here as a source, but ultimately everyone has a right to choose their own actions and pathways for their own personal truths.
C-Create a meal schedule for dinners with my fiancé, so our nights are simple and planned for in advance.
C-Celebrate the positives by keeping a gratitude journal
E-Eat high vibrational foods!
Breakfast=a vegan protein shake with fruit and tea
Lunch=as many raw vegetables as possible with protein and a grain like brown rice or quinoa
Dinner=cooked veggies, protein and a grain
S-Schedule time to work out-The most successful people do this. For me, I enjoy yoga, Qi Gong, swimming, walking and lifting weights.
S-Schedule time for fun-This month I plan to host a game night, travel to Sedona, attend a concert, and go to a brunch with live music.
So, what’s your definition of success? How do you give to yourself? Successful people create time for themselves before the “work” day starts and always pay themselves first.
