24.01.2022 FAVOURITE QUOTE: I agree, it’s not a quite a quote...but it’s my #affirmation statement and it defines most things in my life...so it’s definitely a favourite, and something I took with me to #takingchargeedconsult . PRESENCE- Is the reminder to be in the moment. If I am talking with you, I am talking with you. Those who work with me know that if they come to my door, I will ask them to wait a moment while I finish a sentence or an email if I’m at my computer. In the classroo...m I would ask a student to wait a moment, too. This is because I am trying to be completely present to the recipient of the email, bookwork feedback etc and I want to leave that finished, so that when I turn to speak with you, you have my undivided attention. For planned meetings, activities etc I set an #intention before I enter the block of time. What’s the purpose of the time? How do I plan to engage? What type of energy am I bringing to it? All in the name of #presence. In regards to my #wellbeing, presence helps me remember to exercise #mindfulness. PATIENCE - This also feeds into many aspects of my life. It may assist in the development of #resilience around a new skill or concept. It may concern remembering to exercise #empathy with others. In regards to my wellbeing, it is to remember to be #patient with myself. PASSION: I want to leave a legacy behind. I want that #legacy to be that those whose lives touched mine were better for it. If you were my family or friend, I want you to know you were a priority. If I taught you, I want you to know you matter, you can do anything and that through this you have choices in life and the moral compass to use those choices wisely. If I worked with you, I hope I was able to walk alongside you to grow into a better educator and that you also had the same effect on me. In regards to my wellbeing, I want to know that I spend my time on this earth making decisions and spending my time in a way that matters. That I love what I’m doing and I’m consistently learning. #teacherwellbeing #teachersofig #principalsofinstagram #principalsinaction See more

21.01.2022 SOMETHING I BROUGHT - I wasn’t sure if the topic for this image was a typo or not...so I’ve gone with something I’ve both bought and brought with me physically and mentally int both my life in general and my career. My #books. I #read quite a bit and whilst I don’t take a lot with me into the #workplace, I always have my #professionalreading . The books I keep as a reference, the books I loan to others and the books I’m reading at the moment. #teachersofinstagram #principalsofinstagram #aussieteachers #takingchargeedconsult

18.01.2022 WHAT I WORE: I am not a fan of dressing up. I’m very happy for other people to, but I feel very uncomfortable in dress-up. In a primary school setting, this has proven to be cause for much amusement over the last 23 years. You cannot turn up to a #spiritday, lacking spirit. You have to join in. This year, book week was a staff costume, and it didn’t feel so hard (thank you to the darlings that organised the longest #veryhungrycaterpillar I’ve ever seen. At the end of this yea...r, there was a Christmas themed dress-up. Once again I was very excited and once again some things of my amazing friends organised the costume. Thank you! Once I got over the initial discomfort I did enjoy the day. I am sharing a photo I sent to one of my dearest friends, as my getup for the day. If I get permission from all the other #christmaselves I’ll share the group pic later. #teacherdressup #teacherlife #teachersofaustralia #teachersofig #principal #takingchargeedconsult See more

14.01.2022 TIME TO UNWIND- This is a topic favourite for me. Across the course of time, I have found that I feel like less of a ‘failure’ with work/life balance if I stop imagining it looks like an equal arm balance. We know that there are periods of time when we need to lean into our work ...like the end of a semester, when it is #reportwriting season. Just as I’d hope when it’s #schoolholidays , we wouldn’t be worried about not doing ‘enough’ work to maintain that balance. That would ...be absurd. I have learnt that being aware of what it is that helps me feel more balanced is the key. Which activities, locations or people help me negate #stress and #overwhelm , and leave me feeling more balanced? There are many day-to-day aspects that help with this. #meditation , physical activity, connecting with key people. The big ticket item however, is to leave the city behind and travel to the countryside. This is a picture of where it all happens for me. My unwinding oasis. #teachersofinstagram #teacherwellbeing #teacherwellness #principalsofinstagram #principalwellbeing #wellness #wellbeing #takingchargeedconsult See more

13.01.2022 SUMMER PLAYLIST: This summer a friend of mine has made me a summer playlist. I listen to it when I’m on a walk, when I’m cleaning, when I’m on the long haul to rural NSW, and when I have people over. I have to say, it’s probably my favourite playlist to date. #summerplaylist #teachersofinstagram #teacherwellbeing #principalwellbeing #principalsofinstagram

13.01.2022 MY HAPPY PLACE: To be fair, there are several places I would regard as my happy place. This is one of them. Watching the day begin at a lookout not far from my PLACE TO UNWIND. It is such a heartwarming experience, I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve started the day like this, when I’m out here. Regardless of the season (in winter it requires gloves and a ski jacket) I make my way here. My youngest will now lead the charge if we haven’t been up in a while. She loves it, too. It’s hard not to be #mindful when you’re looking at this. #teachersofthegram #principalsofinstagram #mindfulness #teacherwellbeing #principalwellbeing #takingchargeedconsult

11.01.2022 Why it’s important to set goals on a regular basis. #teacherwellbeing #principalsofinstagram #teachersofinstagram #wellness #takingchargeedconsult
