Every few years there is a new big thing in teaching. Mindfulness has been around for a while and lots of schools talk about it within their well-being programs. But usually, it is implemented badly and just something the school has put in place to check a box. Further, most teachers I know do not do much about their own well-being as it is hard with all the pressures of the job. I think I have done a poor job of taking care of myself in the past and well yesterday was the first day in years that I thought about a change. For the first time since I have lived here, I took an hour out to walk our beach. In my past life, I would have done that every morning and every day after school, for sure. It was brilliant. I just walked and thought and talked to myself and it was great.
