The Teacher's Lounge: A Self-Care Journal

By Ragan M. Brown

What do you do when the job you once loved becomes a burden? When you don't look forward to that alarm clock going off every morning because it is a constant reminder that you didn't get enough sleep and the work is only going to pile up yet again? When you are forced to spend 98% of your time doing menial tasks instead of the one thing you geniunely LOVE to do... TEACH! When you are drowning in professional development meetings, student/teacher conferences, last minute staff meetings, hallway duty, subbing for another teacher, filling in for the cafeteria monitor, homework grading, test grading, breaking up student fights, dodging the school crush from the kids, gossips whirling from the teacher's lounge... wait, THE TEACHER'S LOUNGE!!The Teacher's Lounge was designed to be the space of rest. The space where teachers can take a break from the everyday, all day happenings in the classrooms, administrator's office and hallways. A space where kids and parents are not allowed. A space to rejuvenate. Well it is now high time we return to that sacred space of relax, relate, release! Dr. Ragan M. Brown created a special self-care journal for teachers to help and empower them to return to that space of rejuvenation. To return to their first love of teaching. Five minutes a day can catapult you into a space of "I can do this!" Small, simple, mindfulness practices designed by a teacher for a teacher. It worked for her, so let her show you how it can work for you, too.After all, the days of teachers having panic attacks, overwhelmed with stress, suffering from anxiety and depression are NO MORE. You, teacher, have the power within you to change your life simply by following the steps outlined in this journal. It is time to relax, relate and release!!
