You know what I mean – you love teaching, but at the end of a break, the anticipation of heading back to the breakneck and exhausting speed of what it takes to do your job has hijacked the end of your vacation time. Maybe it’s the form of an upset stomach or headache, binge-eating or feeling depressed, not being able to sleep or perhaps being so tired all you can do is sleep, or in dozens of other ways stress shows up in your body. And no matter what you do to distract yourself, your to-do list for school won’t stop hammering at you, making it hard to enjoy the last bit of break time with your family.
Is the cycle of stress and non-stop obligations is making you sick? Is it impacting your physical and mental abilities to do your job? Is it distracting you from your family life? You’ve probably tried dozens of remedies to beat this, but it’s hard to do on your own, especially when life keeps coming at you at cyber-speed and you’re expected to stay on top of it all.
I’ve been where you are, and after decades of dealing with the physical ramifications stress and exhaustion were taking on my body, it nearly killed me. I had to do something besides take more prescription drugs, have more surgeries, and miss more school. I was in chronic pain, taking a toxic cocktail of prescriptions, overweight, depressed, and exhausted. My immune system couldn’t fight off the germs to which I was exposed, so I caught all the bugs that came through my classroom. Trying to keep up a full teaching, parenting, and performing schedule while physically exhausted was taking its toll on my ability to function and do my job.
If this sounds familiar, then you’ll want to check out my new book I Love My Job But It’s Killing Me: A Teacher’s Guide to Conquering Chronic Stress and Exhaustion. In it, I share the program I developed to help busy teachers who need help coping with the inevitable stress, exhaustion, and weariness that gets in the way of staying healthy.
In the book, you will learn proven techniques that result in:
# More restorative sleep.
# Fewer aches and pains.
# Stronger immune system = no more pesky colds and other bugs!
# Clearer skin.
# Healthier weight.
# More energy.
# Bye bye brain fog!
As teachers, we are asked to take care of everyone else, and we willingly do so. But when do you get to take care of YOU? What I can tell you from years of personal experience is that if you don’t take care of yourself, pretty soon you’ll be too sick to take care of anyone else, either. The stakes are high, and burnout, chronic illness, and mental fatigue don’t get better on their own.
If you can’t wait until my book is released on Valentine’s Day to find out how you can turn around the symptoms that are making it so hard to do your job, take the FREE Mojo Meter. You’ll get a quick assessment of how you are managing stress and exhaustion. And if you’re ready to invest in yourself on a path to a sustainable healthier and happier future once and for all, one where you find the joy in your job and your personal lives because you are no longer so sick and exhausted, then let’s chat and see if my mPower Method Maestra Class is right for you!
