4/16/24: Professional development opportunities, better affirmations, & fable wisdom!

Keep on truckin’, my peeps! 
​

Helpful Stuff

I don't know about you folks but I have been sweating bullets trying to complete the rest of my professional development hours.

Then I realized that my professional organization for teachers also offered online professional development.

When I completed the online videos and trainings, I received a PDF certificate which I uploaded to my district’s portal and I received teacher choice hour credits.

I belong to ATPE so if you belong to any similar organizations, it’s definitely worth a look to check if they offer anything similar. Hope this helps!

Recommendations

As I mentioned in a previous email, the book The Miracle Morning is amazing.

The author, Hal Elrod, recommends praising our affirmations like this:

"I am committed to _____.”

Instead of:

“I am ______.”

This helps maintain our personal integrity by preventing saying things that are not tre yet.

For example, instead of saying: 

"I am wealthy.”

Say instead:

“I am committed to building wealth.”

That way we are not lying to ourselves when we are focusing on our goals! 🙌💯

A Little Inspiration

Because our headspace matters when we are trying to show up as our best selves for our students, our loved ones, and ourselves!

As a huge fan of Aesop's fables I couldn't help but share this amazing tale.

“The Fox Without a Tail”

When a fox lost his tail to a trap, he tries to convince the other foxes that it would be best for them to lose their tails, too, claiming that they were inconvenient and put their lives at risk for hunters.

Finally, an older fox arose and pointed out the fox’s attempt at trickery.

Moral: Do not listen to the advice of him who seeks to lower you to his own level.
