Social-Emotional Learning: Self-Management

Self-management has so very many aspects: goal-setting, self-discipline, planning and organizing things, managing our emotions and managing out stress. There are days when things can get very overwhelming and life feels like a rogue wave washing over places we usually think to be safe.

Changing our self-talk is am important part of managing ourselves! I often hear teachers talk to themselves in a way they would never, ever talk to a student - and then I get to remind us all about  being kind to ourselves, because it helps SO much!

I also need  to remind myself about changing my words and sometime saying it aloud: Today is a challenging day, but I am making progress!  I can choose to focus on the positive things!
