    34. Having The Courage to Slow Down

    I so badly wanted my students to achieve mastery and learn everything and do well on their end of year tests. This is a strength of mine, and I'm sure is one of yours too. Unfortunately, I overused this strenght on occasion, and tried moving my students a little faster than they were ready. Plowing through is what felt safer. Was I a bad teacher. No. Could there have been a different, and maybe even better way? Sure. Accessing that better way starts by slowing down. Slowing down can feel scary. Like, terrifying. This is when we have to train ourselves to intentionally stop, breathe in, and gain awareness of what stories our brain is telling us. Slowing down might bring up uncomfortable emotions. Just know it is actually the way forward in a lasting sustainable way. Talk soon! camillescow17@gmail.com

    33. Stress and Trauma Part 2: Too Little for Too Long

New students, fresh eyes, new problems, stronger because of the year before, then it's the end of the year and the rock you've been carrying now seems so heavy! It wasn't this hard before!!! The reason? You haven't given yourself the proper rest, if any. Sure, you've taken a personal day in the last 10 years Sure, you got 8 hours of sleep last night, sure you had your kale drink this morning. But.... .... have you given yourself a break from your inner critic? This episode shares expertise from Dr. Aimie Apigian, as well as wisdom from Kristin Neff. This episode could provide you the awareness necessary to make a small shift that could change everything for you. Remember: You are doing better than you think you are!

    31. Rethinking "Do Your Best"

    You ready for a VERY significant mind shift? Was "Do your best" a phrase that seemed like it should have helped you more than it did? Or is it a phrase that you wish meant more to your students than it does? This episode incorporates the Common Humanity component of self-compassion in that it can release all the pressure that comes from the phrase "Do your best". Ironically, once that pressure is lifted, we actually do better. Crazy huh!?!?!? Lets chat! camillescow17@gmail.com If I don't respond quickly, please replay to your original message so I can see it better; my mind can be pretty scattered sometimes.

    32. Stress and Trauma Part 1: Too Much Too Fast

    You've heard the ol' adage 'drinking from a firehose'. Well, as humorous as we try to make it, it could actually be the source of trauma. If we don't have time to rest and reset when provided new information and are given more information before we've even had a chance to process the first, it could be creating too much too fast. This isn't saying slow everything down so we don't progress. No. Not at all. What I'm (or more accurately Dr Aimee) saying is the right amount of stress is actually necessary for our progression, but too much too fast can hinder it drastically. Listen to find out more! Talk soon!

    29. Understanding That Self-Compassion is Embracing Reality With Kindness

    This episode is inspired by an idea from Tara Brach. She says that Self-compassion is embracing reality with kindness. This episode has words from Kristin Neff that describes Equanimity, which is basically gaining the understanding of what is in our control and what isn't. Its finding that balance. This episode provides some examples to clarify what it can look like for you as a teacher to embrace reality with kindness. You don't have to decide if you are a good teacher or a bad teacher. No matter what day you are having, your students need YOU!

    27. Self-Compassion Isn't Positive Affirmations

    When someone told me about self-compassion, I thought I had it made because I was soooooo good at telling myself the things I wished I believed about myself. Turns out it was the NOT helpful way to use Positive Affirmations. This episode provides clarity around the differences between self-compassion,positive affirmations as well as toxic positivity. Hopefully you can learn this lesson quicker than I did!!! IG: https://www.instagram.com/camillescowcoaching/ email:camillescow17@gmail.com
