The Chalk Full of Life Podcast show

Summary: You don’t need a permission slip.<br> <br> <br> <br> But I’m going to give you one anyway.<br> <br> <br> <br> And more importantly…<br> <br> <br> <br> I’d like you to consider giving one to yourself.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Why? Because...<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Teachers are really good at giving evvverything to evvveryone else.<br> <br> <br> <br> But how good are you at giving yourself what you really need?<br> <br> <br> <br> We get so caught up in going, going, going…<br> <br> <br> <br> Giving, giving, giving...<br> <br> <br> <br> And doing, doing, doing…<br> <br> <br> <br> That we keep thinking we need to Do MORE.<br> <br> <br> <br> And Be MORE.<br> <br> <br> <br> But I think what we reeeally need most often is to…<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Do LESS.<br> <br> <br> <br> When you do LESS, you free up your 2 most valuable resources:<br> <br> <br> <br> Time &amp; Energy.<br> <br> <br> <br> And when you have more Time &amp; Energy… <br> <br> <br> <br> You’re able to show up as the best version of yourself.<br> <br> <br> <br> Now, I know what you’re probably thinking.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> “That sounds great! I’d love to do less! I’m sooo exhausted, BUT…”<br> <br> <br> <br> And then you could go on to give me a gigantic list of reasons why you can’t do less because there’s so much you HAVE TO DO.<br> <br> <br> <br> I get it.<br> <br> <br> <br> I’ve been there.<br> <br> <br> <br> But I’d like to offer the thought that maybe the “have to” mentality isn’t serving you.<br> <br> <br> <br> What if it’s a sneaky little thought that sounds legit, but it’s actually a form of self-sabotage?<br> <br> <br> <br> (Remember last week’s episode?)<br> <br> <br> <br> So here’s what I’d like to recommend.<br> <br> <br> <br> If you love the “idea” of doing less, but you don’t see HOW it could possibly work for you…<br> <br> <br> <br> I’d like to invite you to consider some new thoughts.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> In this episode, you’ll learn:<br> <br> <br> <br> Why selfish is the new selfless when it comes to being a great teacher and showing up as your best for your family and friends.Why doing less actually allows you to be more in every area of your life - both in and out of school.How to make doing less a habit that will help you step into the best version of yourself.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> JOIN THE MOVEMENT<br> <br> <br> <br> TRUTH: You don’t have to sacrifice your health or happiness to be a great teacher.<br> <br> <br> <br> DARE: Regret-proof your #teacherlife by doing things differently.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> (Re)discover the life you thought you signed up for.<br> <br> <br> <br> Say goodbye to the #teachertired and say hello to the very best version of yourself.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> A tribe of teacher wellness warriors is launching soon!<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Get all the tools, strategies, and support you need to reclaim your time, restore your happiness, and transform your mental, emotional, and physical health.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Click here to be first in line.
