Happy Holidays!

George Couros recently posted a blog about the importance of taking care of yourself and although his message presents ideas for those weeks just before the holiday, he mentions ideas that are well worth considering over the winter break. 

Here are a few that I'm putting on my list:

      • Schedule time to work out
      • Read for pleasure
      • Watch a tv series 
      • Surround myself with people that lift me up
It is a challenge to take time for yourself, but I agree with George when he states, "taking this time not only gives you more energy, but the time spent with those you care about --you will be in a much better mood."  The time with those you love and care about will be quality time because you have filled your own cup! Not as easy as it sounds, because educators are so giving, so try to pick at least one of the few things on your list and stick to it!

Wishing you all the best of holidays!  I look forward to an awesome start to 2018!
