Teachers, are you frustrated that you were SO excited for winter break, but now that it's here, you are having a hard time relaxing and being fully present with your family? I feel you! 

In this 🎙️episode, we talk about how to stop worries about school robbing you of your peace and well-deserved relaxation. 

I share 5 simple strategies including:

👉 Set firm cut-off dates and away messages before your break 📅

👉 Survey family on most meaningful holiday activity ❤️

👉 Schedule a power hour to tackle lingering tasks ⏱️

👉 Limit social media and news intake 📵

Your cup is empty - this break is essential to pour back into your students. Give yourself 🪙 permission to detach completely and recharge!

The bottom line: Presence over presents! 🎁 Your family wants YOU, not perfect activities or gifts. Focus on joyful connections.

Follow these 5 tips for a restorative, worry-free winter break. You'll return renewed and balanced for 2024! 🥳  Listen in and then  go relax and make magical memories! ✨
