Reducing Teacher Stress: 5 Lessons from 'Don't Sweat the Small Stuff' (Best Books for Teachers Part 2)

Balance Your Teacher Life: Personal Growth Tips, Habits & Life Coaching to Empower Educators to Avoid Burnout

Imagine transforming your teaching day into a more peaceful, joy-filled experience. Picture a classroom where the small stuff doesn't phase you and the big stuff doesn't overwhelm you or your students (oh, happy day!)
In this episode, I'm digging into Dr. Richard Carson's classic book 'Don't Sweat the Small Stuff', and picking out the top five strategies that can help you feel empowered to cut through all the noise and distractions, and save your energy for the "big stuff". It's a classic text with a hundred suggestions, but I'm picking out the ones that can be applied specifically to school life.
❤️ I love this book, and its practical wisdom. But join me as I go a little deeper into what "the small stuff" in the classroom is, AND I'll share a tried-and-true strategy for emotional regulation that's been a game-changer for me.
