    N E W E P I S O D E As many of us based in Austr N E W E P I S O D E As many of us based in Australia are entering our holidays, I wanted to chat about the transition into the school holidays. Some of us can find it difficult to transition from the very structured nature of our school term to the highly unstructured nature of the school holidays. If you are someone who feels this, know that you are not alone! It is so important to be able to transition from one state to the other, without feeling lost or aimless along the way! In this episode, I share 6 practical ideas for how teachers can look after their wellbeing and heal over the break.
    B O U N D A R I E S If you’re anything like me, B O U N D A R I E S If you’re anything like me, you might have lived a significant part of your teaching life without boundaries. This is completely normal. Many of us live in an environment where we don’t see people around us setting and keeping boundaries. Boundaries are our personal limits. They need to be communicated clearly so that people in our lives know how to treat us. There are different types of boundaries, namely the 5 main ones that I’ve stated in this post (don’t forget to swipe left!). Setting boundaries is not a one-time effort. It’s a consistent practice. It’s a practice of self-care, self-love and self-respect that allows us to take ownership of our energy. For me, time & energy boundaries have been a huge focus for me in my life, especially with all the to-do items on our teaching to-do list! I know that I have to consciously commit to working on the other types of boundaries as well. Which boundary do you find the hardest to implement in your life? 👇🏼
    N E W E P I S O D E Feel guilty when you start t N E W E P I S O D E Feel guilty when you start thinking about self-care? Think that self-care is selfish? It’s so far from it! In this episode, I talk about self-care: what it is, why it’s important for us as teachers to prioritise it, and how to actually take that step to prioritise it in your life! #podcast #teacherpodcast #podcastlaunch #podcasting #teacher #teachersofinstagram #teaching #teacherlife #teachersofig #teachergram #melbourneteacher #aussieteacher #aussieteachers #wellbeing #wellness #teacherwellbeing #personaldevelopment #investinyourself #selflove #selfcompassion #selfconfidence #personalgrowth #theflourishingteacher #flourish #positivepsychology #growthmindset

    S P R I N G My favourite season of the year is he S P R I N G My favourite season of the year is here! 🌸🌼🌷🌿 And what a glorious day we’ve been gifted with here in Melbourne today. ☀️ I’m sitting here in my courtyard, just switching off from the day and reflecting on the things I’m grateful for. With the noise that’s going on in the world, and with the extension of remote learning for the rest of the term, it’s so easy to lose hope and to forget to take stock of the things that we have in our lives right now. Today, I’m grateful for: 🌼 Lovely friends who check in and drop surprises at my doorstep 🌸 Students who continue to show up with such resilience everyday 🌿 Having a roof over my head 🌷 Being able to enjoy the simple things in life - like sitting out in the sun and just being! If you haven’t already done this today, I really encourage you to just take 5 mins to reflect on what you’re grateful for x I’d love to know too! 👇🏼
    U N P L U G⁠ ⁠ Self-care is not selfish. Truly U N P L U G⁠ ⁠ Self-care is not selfish. Truly. Taking time to fill your cup/recharge your batteries is absolutely essential for sustainability. In order for you to be at your best for the people around you (students, family, friends, colleagues, etc.), sometimes all we need to do is allow ourelves the time and space to truly unplug!⁠ ⁠ Unplugging to me right now looks like:⁠ ✨ Daily yoga routines⁠ ✨ Putting my phone away at 8 pm ⁠ ✨ Reading every night before bed⁠ ✨ Meditation⁠ ⁠ When did you last unplug? And... What does unplugging look like to you? I would love to know down below! 👇⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #teacher #teachersofinstagram #teaching #teacherlife #teachersofig #teachergram #melbourneteacher #aussieteacher #aussieteachers #lifecoach #lifecoachforteachers #mindsetcoach #wellbeing #teacherwellbeing #selfcompassion #personaldevelopment #selfconfidence #personalgrowth #flourish #transformation #transformyourlife #mindset #mindfulness #meditation #unplug #wellness #teachertips #qotd

    E U D A I M O N I A⁠ ⁠ About 4 years ago at a E U D A I M O N I A⁠ ⁠ About 4 years ago at a Mental Health & Wellbeing Conference, I learned about this idea of eudaimonia from the legends at @projectthriveau. I remember being so intrigued at approaching wellbeing from this viewpoint, however, it wasn't something that I consciously thought of, or even remembered until I heard Andrea from Project Thrive mention it yesterday on a webinar run by Summer at @eventful_learning_co⁠ ⁠ To come full circle, and seeing how the universe works, in constantly having Andrea pop up in my life at various times has just been mind-boggling, but that's a story for another day...⁠ ⁠ Eudaimonia is about individual happiness. According to psychologists Deci and Ryan, “…well-being is not so much an outcome or end state as it is a process of fulfilling or realizing one’s daimon or true nature—that is, of fulfilling one’s virtuous potentials and living as one was inherently intended to live.”⁠ ⁠ In looking at the etymology of the word itself, eudaimonia is a combination of the prefix eu (which means good, or well), and daimon (which means spirit).⁠ ⁠ To have a good/well spirit, is that truly not what our life's mission should be? To prioritise one's well-being in order to be a well being, that's what drives me in my work both as a teacher and as a coach.⁠ ⁠ Have you heard of this term/concept before? I would love to know!

I would like to acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation who are the traditional custodians of the land on which I live and learn. I would also like to pay respect to the Wurundjeri Elders, past and present, and extend this respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait people from other communities.
