A-HA Moments:
⚫Stress can have a negative influence on our lives. It can effect our emotional
health, physical health and our mental health. As a teacher, our students come
from all different walks of life, with different stresses they have to deal with. As
a teacher, you need to notice these different stresses and help your students
work through them by incorporating stress education into your lessons plans. As
a role model to our students, we must first learn to handle stress ourselves.
Look back at some of the suggestions I listed on how to live your life less
stressful. Each one of
them will help. Don’t just imagine life with out an overload of stress…
LIVE IT!
