What do you do to take care of your...See MoreAs teachers we often put others' needs before our own. Too often we sacrifice taking care of ourselves in order to give students, parents, and family member what they need.
This leads me to the questions:
How do you make time for yourself to take care of yourself emotionally/physically?
What do you do to take care of your health and fitness?
Just wondering how you maximize your life so you have more to give to others.
For healthy meals, I usually make a large dinner on Sunday that will last through Tuesday or Wednesday (and usually freeze a few containers of it for the next week). For the second half of the work week, I cook again or I heat up some frozen meals I made & froze the previous week. One of my favorite things to do (especially when stressed( is to buy 2 Subway sandwiches on Wednesday night = Weds dinner & Thurs lunch. Not perfect, but healthier than a fast food burger or pizza. > > Just wondering how you maximize your life so you have more > to give to others. I struggle with this, but am learning to have at least 1 fun activity to do each weekend, to attend church, and to always have a good book or netflix series to watch at night.
