Description

The first step of this journey will lead you through some of the basics about self-care and renewal which we have found to be important to teachers. You will explore the bright path of self-care and the renewing effects it can have upon your spirit and energy. Conversely, we will also invite you to take a peek at the dark path of consequences which may occur if you neglect your own self-care. Throughout this journey, you will explore how your beliefs, attitudes, and habits can support or undermine your own self-care. As you begin, we will also share some useful tips about self-care which may enable you to be a better "caretaker."

This is your journey. It is an opportunity for you to focus on your needs -- both individual and in relationship with others. Take a few minutes now to think about your own needs at this moment. Are there specific situations or relationships that need your attention? The following case study may illustrate similarities to your own busy and complex life.
