We all have those days right?  Those days where nothing goes right in the classroom and we have to scrap the plans to manage behavior or because our students don’t have the skills needed to continue on.  Those days where you go home and want to crawl in bed and never come back out. Am I alone in this?  I hope and pray that those days are far and few between.  I know especially now in the COVID era of teaching it can be so hard to maintain a positive attitude. If you are feeling lost, overwhelmed, unhappy, or extremely stressed, it might be time to revamp your self-care routine.  

Self-care has been something I’ve had to really work at over the past few years.  I struggle with mental health disorders that can often be made worse when I am not partaking in self care strategies.  I am by no means perfect, but I have come to realize these strategies are useful in helping to prevent burn out.
