As the first half of the school year draws to a close, counselors, educators, and all who work with students are absolutely exhausted. This school year–that was finally supposed to feel “normal”--has seen the alarm about pandemic-related learning loss continue to dominate district policies and practices. During this time, educators have been asked to expedite progress in order to make up for the three years of disrupted learning in a single school year. Counselors have been pulled in to provide unprecedented levels of support for students and families struggling to recover from the past three years. Politicians and community members, many of whom do not have experience working in schools or with students, have loudly questioned practices and shared critiques as part of the election dialogue. And, students, still reeling from years of stress and transition, struggle to fully attend school and engage in learning.
These variables have exacerbated the already-impossible job of being an educator to unimaginable levels of stress and challenge. It makes sense that educators are tired, overwhelmed, and desperately in need of a break.
With winter break on the horizon, we want to remind counselors, teachers, administrators, and all who work with children to find time to pause. Educators are notorious for always taking care of others. Even in the hustle and bustle of the winter holidays, it is critical that you do things that bring YOU happiness and joy. Use these tips and recommendations below to inspire activities to help you to relax, recharge, and remind you who you are outside of being an educator.
You are worth it, and you deserve it!
Educators and counselors are almost always multitasking or planning for what is coming next. Take time during the winter break to focus on being present. Find a few minutes to center yourself and your thoughts in whichever way works for you. For some, it helps to be quiet and still. For others, physical exertion and movement are better. Just a little bit of time spent focused on you can have a measurable impact on your mental and physical health.
Those who know us best can often provide moments of laughter, a willingness to share struggles, and a reminder of who we are. While it can take time and energy to make plans, finding ways to connect with friends and family is a great way to recharge.
Reading can be a wonderful way to calm your mind or go on a fun adventure from the comforts of your own couch. Take time this winter break to settle into a good book–especially one that is not required reading about the latest educational trends or pedagogical practices. Consider picking up one of the books you’ve been meaning to read or take a recommendation from this list below, curated with care to provide a joyful and warm reading experience.
