Everyday Self Care

Discover why time spent caring for yourself is always time well spent, and the countless ways you can improve your health, happiness, and wellbeing.

Do you get caught in a negative spiral of thinking? Does the clutter in your home get you down? Are you overwhelmed with commitments and looking for more balance? Whatever you need to work on, you’ll find advice and inspiration inside this handy guide.

If you’re an educator experiencing burnout, compassion fatigue, or vicarious trauma, this book will help you embrace tangible self-care practices to improve your well-being both in and out of the classroom.

Chapters explore how stress at school impacts personal life, the way teacher self-care benefits students, and ways in which schools can implement and support well-being. The book includes a variety of tips and interactive activities to help you identify your own needs and implement helpful practices. You’ll leave with a toolbox of information and simple practices to effectively advocate for your well-being in educational spaces and beyond.
