1.) Find something that you love today ... away from work. Yes, you can love your job and the time you spend with your students... but you can ALSO love your time AWAY from work. Love the time you have just for you. I promise that you will find that when you take time out for yourself you end up enjoying your time at work even more. At least that is how it works for me! So go! Go get your nails done, or get a massage, or a little retail therapy, or go to the movies.... (but first read the rest of this post).
2.) Do good! Karma is real! When you do something good for others, karma reaches out and does something good for you! Feeling good about doing something good for others is what I call Karma... because I am getting something out of it. Some easy ideas for the people around you: (a) write a note to a teachers about something you noticed (positive), (b) write a note to a new teacher, or a new colleague about how happy you are that they are in your school, (c) write a note on a sticky note in give it to a student. Doing good will make you feel good and save your sanity!
3.) Doodle/ draw/ paint/ play with play doh or clay... get back to being a like a kid. Put a little color into your life! Instant sanity savior!
What are your sanity savers? Put your favorite one in the comments below to help others. I look forward to reading your ideas!
