Hello friends.
As my work-life balance seemed to be spiraling out of control, I began to redefine what I need to be successful. If I didn't, I would (still might) assume the fetal position and give up on teaching. (It's been a year.) Here's what I decided:
Students will not be my priority; I will be. (I think I just heard a collective gasp and a few coffee mugs shatter from the shock.)
Allow me to explain:
- I deserve a good night's rest.
- I deserve a fun evening at least twice a week.
- I deserve the right to attend Sunday worship without the guilt of my to-do list.
- I deserve a decent meal daily.
I had not gotten any of those things since school started; I need them to have balance...and you do, too.
