Benefits of Walking

Educators,  walking as an exercise is underrated by many of us. Yet, it is something that is an easy option to help combat stress and burnout. The benefits of walking are worth giving up 30 minutes of your day.  Recently, I started a 30-30-30 Walk Challenge with friends, family, and colleagues. The rules are short and straightforward. We vowed to walk at least 30 consecutive minutes for 30 straight days. At the end of 30 days, each person completes 30 walks. When the challenge ended, participants’ testimonies range from losing weight or inches to feeling more energetic.

Negative Co-Workers

Are negative co-workers affecting your wellness? Most people don’t ask themselves that question.  I thought about it after presenting at the Teacher Self-Care Conference. During the conference, I spoke with new and experienced teachers about their stress triggers. What caught me by surprise was the response, “negative co-workers.” So, let’s think about how negative co-workers affect your wellness.

Much is written about teachers’ attitudes and the effect on students. Not much information is available about teachers’ negative attitudes and their effect on their peers. However, all new and experienced educators can tell you stories about a Negative Nelly or Nelson in the school building.
