I know we are in unsettling times. We have so many questions and not enough answers. These questions cause fear and stress of the unknown. If you are like me you are use to being in control, fixing, planning, organizing, and making sure everyone is taken care of. Lists of things to do and not enough time to do them. Oh, I have a lot of lists.
The news has been bombarding us all. The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the fear of the unknown, stats, CDC, school closings, what happens next? This can be debilitating. I believe ESPs by nature are giving people, sometimes to a fault. I want to share with you this Self-Care Challenge. You deserve to take care of yourself. You deserve time to breathe, rest, and heal. I challenge you to choose a few self-care suggestions from the list below and spend some time for your self. You DESERVE it!
Today we need to breathe, and stay safe. I am adding the button below because I believe knowledge is power. As more information emerges and evolves over these next few days and weeks I will update this site. Please do not lose the main reason for this post by reading more information and not take time for you.
Thank you for all you do for your students, your school, and your community. Now I ask you to take some time and do for you. We are ESP!!
