Manage Teacher Stress and Up Your Charisma
Dear Fellow Teacher
I would like to take a minute to share a few of my thoughts and frustrations about our wonderful profession. They are based on my perceptions formed from personal experience and from speaking to Teachers throughout Canada and the USA.
For over 30 years I taught at the elementary, secondary and college levels and enjoyed every minute of it.
Near the end of my career I began to notice big changes in teacher morale, confidence and in the enjoyment of their profession.
Teacher bullying by toxic parents began to occur more frequently. Support from the home lessened significantly and respect for teachers was at an all time low.
Teachers became the targets of student violence and parental aggression.
The joy once found in abundance among teachers was fast disappearing.
Something had to be done to restore joy and sanity to our profession and the essential parent/teacher/student relationships involved in what we do.
That's when I came up with my Teacher Survival Kit.
Presently I speak to teachers throughout Canada and the USA on its contents about 50 times a year.

10 Ways to Relax During Your Busy Day
Simple effective stress busting strategies based on humor and relaxation
10 WAYS TO RELAX DURING YOUR BUSY DAY By Mike Moore
1. Take three deep breaths slowly. It really works to relax the body and mind.
2. Relax the tongue. Usually the tongue is held tightly against the teeth. Free it up in the mouth so it can just rest there without tension.
3. Take one minute vacations. In your mind visit places where you find peace and stillness. Picture yourself there soaking up the beauty and solitude.
4. Relax your facial muscles. When we are tense we frown and squint which adds to the tension. Tell your facial muscles to relax and they will. Try to maintain this relaxed face throughout the day.
5. Move slowly. When you find yourself rushing for no reason, SLOW DOWN.
6. Laugh more. Laughter cuts stress and promotes relaxation.
7. Listen to beautiful music. Mozart calms the restless spirit.
8. Watch and enjoy the sunset.
9. Visualize yourself as a balloon being inflated. As you breathe in, the balloon fills with your stress and tension. Then breathe out all the stress and tension leaving yourself limp and relaxed.
10. Enjoy the rhythm and beauty of nature for its lessons are patience and peace.
RELAX FOR EASY POWER.
REMEMBER THAT RECREATION ISN'T RELAXATION, IT'S DIVERSION.
