BWileyPOB Jan 9 @ 9:17 PM EST

A bit late to the party... Ben from NY joining. #teacherfriends

LWMrsParker Jan 9 @ 9:19 PM EST

One thing I have found that works well is to get rid of your rolling cart, large teacher bag, etc. This just helps you bring less home. Also, it’s ok to not do work at home or vice versa. Do what you need to maintain a good balance. #TeacherFriends

In reply to @KweezleQueen

Toups_J Jan 9 @ 9:19 PM EST

#TeacherFriends A2 You need ME TIME! PERIOD! I try to exercise / walk WITHOUT technology for 30 minutes every evening. Don't let technology take away your family or your me time.

meganredshaw Jan 9 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2: My goal is to get things done and work smarter, not harder this year. I have to learn to say no- something that isn't easy for me. #TeacherFriends

wesaquje Jan 9 @ 9:19 PM EST

#teacherfriends Q1- even when I have lots of work to do, I take time on the weekends for myself and family. Friday nights are “down time” in my family. We do not plan outings Friday night so we can recharge.

KweezleQueen Jan 9 @ 9:26 PM EST

#TeacherFriends Q3: What tricks and encouragement do you have to offer for a HEALTHY lifestyle for 2018? Exercise links? Recipes? Meditation? How do you jumpstart health goals for the new year? Do you pack your lunch? PHOTOS! Should we have a weight loss challenge?

maggieskinder Jan 9 @ 9:27 PM EST

#TeacherFriends A3: Cooking healthy, eating more fresh fruit and veggies. Turning on the treadmill.

FirstAtBat Jan 9 @ 9:27 PM EST

A3: I struggle with consistency here. Listening for all your great ideas. #TeacherFriends

drmcgaughy Jan 9 @ 9:27 PM EST

A3: I need ideas. A challenge would be great! #teacherfriends

kosienm Jan 9 @ 9:27 PM EST

A3: Exercise..I do a LITTLE of a lot of different things. If anyone is getting "slightly older" like me, I've really enjoyed Classical Stretch by Miranda Esmonde White (author of Aging Backwards). It really helps my back issue! #teacherfriends

BatesMandi Jan 9 @ 9:28 PM EST

#teacherfriends Q1 continued- I moved schools last year to be a part of a STEM program. It is my passion. Moving and being allowed to “not be perfect and try something new” has been refreshing.

BWileyPOB Jan 9 @ 9:28 PM EST

A3: Routine is key- plenty of sleep, early exercise, and prepped meals! #teacherfriends

99Wyo Jan 9 @ 9:28 PM EST

A3: This is the one I struggle with the most, I try to drink a lot of water and I am working on cooking more at home. #teacherfriends

Toups_J Jan 9 @ 9:29 PM EST

#teacherfriends A3 I pack my lunch every day and eat in my classroom. 30 minutes of QUALITY quite time. Don't eat in a lunch room full of negativity. IT WILL TAKE YOU DOWN.

BatesMandi Jan 9 @ 9:29 PM EST

#teacherfriends Q2 I do struggle with balance. When I am home I try to disconnect from parent email and Dojo. I want to be present for my kids.

FirstAtBat Jan 9 @ 9:29 PM EST

My daughter is doing #Whole30...she is inspiring me to try when she posts her photos of her meals. #TeacherFriends

mcarlson110 Jan 9 @ 9:29 PM EST

fuzzlady77 Jan 9 @ 9:29 PM EST
