9/12/23: Stay hydrated & inspired, Teacher Superheroes!

Let’s get is started…AGAIN!

But First, A Chuckle!

Helpful Stuff & Recommendations

This week we’re all about teacher hydration!

Because when your cup is empty (literally) you cannot fill anyone else’s cup!

Self-care is something that teachers (everyone, really) need to do better, myself included.

I was treated for mild dehydration over this summer and learned a lot!

Of course this is not medical advice and in intended only for educational purposes. You should always seek treatment/advice from a qualified medical professional.

I learned (re-learned, really) that water is not enough!

Electrolytes are just as important as water itself.

Some of my favorites that won’t break the bank are (these are Amazon affiliate links, in which we get a bit of commission but does not affect your price :)):
​

Gatorlyte by Gatorade
​
Probably the most famous brand of all, this one was an easy choice for me.
​

Available in regular (sugar) ready-to-drink bottles in different flavors with a sugar-free version!  

Click here for the convenient regular variety powder form and here for the variety sugar-free powder option! 
​

NUUN Electrolyte Tablets

These tablets are even more convenient than Gatorlyte because there is no mixing involved at all!

You just drop in the tablet and it’s ready in just a few minutes.

They taste great and I always have some at my school desk and in my backpack.

It can be confusing with the many varieties available so I hope the options below help clarify!

Click here for the daily hydration caffeinated tablets, here for the daily hydration non-caffeinated tablets, here for their sport hydration tablet (with more sugar & electrolytes when exercising), and here for their sport hydration caffeinated tablets!

I have been using at least one of these two brands of electrolyte supplements every day and it has really helped with my dehydration headaches and energy levels!

It is my hope that it helps all of you teachers be even more powerful!

A Little Inspiration

This episode from our podcast shares some inspirational stories (fables & zen koans) for teachers, including my personal favorite of Buddha demonstrating the power of creating instead of destroying.

Have a listen and stay inspired, teacher superheroes!
