    A1) self care for me is just remembering my needs mentally and physically. I’m the only one who can care for myself now. There should be time in my day for that. #espechat
  • Wilson_PhysEd Apr 24 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    #espechat A1 self care means remembering to have a work/life balance. Practicing what I preach to students about working out, eating healthy, and spending time with people that are positive!

  • Samuel_Karns Apr 24 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    A1 Self-Care is remembering to take care of yourself first, which is hard for many of us in this community here because we always want to help our Ss, Families and Communities find your #WorkLifeAlignment #espechat
  • smsandino Apr 24 @ 8:13 PM EDT

  • cpola17 Apr 24 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    A1 putting yourself first - something I’m getting better at. If you’re too worried about others and then who’s worrying after you? Like the aeroplane rule, look after yourself then others #espechat

    A1) Self-care is taking care of yourself holistically. Its combining that with a constant assessment of how to maintain that care. #ESPEchat
  • EPEWCP Apr 24 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    This also speaks to self care #espechat #Physed

    A1 when we get home from work we tend to focus on ‘negative’ things and whinge about it, but it’s so important for your self care to recognise what a great day it was #espechat

    Now that we have a better picture of self-care let's get into the specifics in Q2 #ESPEchat #physed

    Q2) although lately it’s been inconsistent, I tend to have my routine start in the morning at the gym. And then find time throughout the day #espechat
  • HPE_Teacher Apr 24 @ 8:19 PM EDT
    #ESPEchat a2 1) 10 000 steps 2) Add movement throughout the day #movementculture 3) #meditation via @10percent 4) Eat real food
  • smsandino Apr 24 @ 8:19 PM EDT
    It's tricky, it is a constant state of readjusting and tweaking. Just when you think you got it, you have to make changes again #ESPEchat #physed
    In reply to @jlobianc
  • PEbyMrE Apr 24 @ 8:19 PM EDT
    2) Routine is big - wake up 5:45 & do same things in routine. Eat health, go for runs 2-3 times a week, play with my Ss when I get a chance. But also sit down to read, do yoga w/ my wife, & relax. #ESPEchat
  • StaciMcGowan18 Apr 24 @ 8:19 PM EDT

    A3 When I know deep down in my heart that my plate is full & I get that inkling to say "no." I also lose my patience a bit quicker when I've reached maximum capacity, which in turn effects work life and home life. It feels as though my levels aren't syncing up! #ESPEchat #physed

    A7: Dear future self - Remember this: You worked your butt off through many, many years of teaching and raising a family. If you want to do something completely frivolous and without much value, go right ahead. You earned it. #espechat

    A HUGE thank you to each and every one of you tonight as we delved into the topic of self-care. You all help me grow, but, most importantly, we help each other grow! Don't forget to take care of yourselves as we head into the end of the year. OVER AND OUT! #ESPEchat #physed
