It was great to hear so many postive comments about our "Be Well" Staff Conference held on the 14th July.It has made us all reflect on how we treat ourselves and others and the importance of being kind,caring and compassionate human beings.It was therefore serendipitous that I was tweeted today with Edutopia's 5 Minute Film Festival -9 Videos on kindness,empathy and connection link.I am sure you will personally enjoy watching these videos and some of you may be able to incorporate some into your teaching.
At the Conference,Jan mentioned the need to find a a "life balance" rather than a "work/life" balance which is just as well as we certainly spend more waking time at work than at home.My personal goal from the day was to stop neglecting my own personal fitness.Consequently there have many laps of Lake Guthridge and The Red Gum Forest at Briagolong since. I must say I do feel better for it.There is definitely a spring in my step!
ABC Health and Wellbeing has some great articles that are relevant to workplace health and wellbeing and are well worth a visit.Links are below:
Did you know that although you might exercise for at last 30 minutes a day,the health benefits are negated if you are sitting for 10hours a day?Stand Up For Your Health.Apparently the longer you stand, the longer you live!
Finally from the TeachThought blog is Using Habits of Mind to Promote Teacher Happiness
