Stimulus, ( pause ), reaction. Takes a TON of practice. Fortunately, our job gives us TONS of opportunities to practice! 🙃

Teaching is hard work, full of big emotions. How do you stop escalating emotions before you say or do something you might regret? I'm practicing the pause, but it's not easy. For more about pausing loom.ly/KRmLOyg #pauseponderpersist #teachers #education #k12 #teacherlife

I had a quiet moment (in a class) yesterday where I just observed what was going on. I wanted to jot notes I could use for a blog post about all that was right in that moment. Then I re-thought... Nah. No need to make everything public. Just live IN the moment & soak it all up.
