The Ultimate List of Summer Self-Care Activities for Teachers

Ahhh summer!

That beautiful time of year where teachers get to unwind after a crazy school year.

It’s that time of year where teachers hopefully get to relax, enjoy the summer weather, and get some things done in your personal life that you have been putting off during the school year.

But if you are anything like a lot of teachers I know, summer isn’t always a relaxing time of year.

In fact, you might have that natural “go-getter” attitude that a lot of other teachers do. This means that instead of relaxing, you have a to-do list the size of your arm on all the things you want to accomplish this summer.

Yes, I am talking to you Ms. Overachiever!

If this sounds like you, that’s fine!

Summer is such a great time to work ahead. But the problem is, many teachers work so hard over the summer that they blink and feel exhausted when back to school comes.

That’s why today I want to point out the importance of incorporating self-care into your busy summer schedule.

So today we are going to talk about:

The Ultimate Guide of Self-Care For Teachers

“Self-care is giving the world the best of you, instead of what’s left of you.”
-Katie Reed

Self-Care for teachers is so important but can be nearly impossible to be consistent with.

You feel like you are exhausted and tired of staying late. You promise yourself you are going to do something for self-care today because it’s important.

But by the end of the day, you are exhausted, stressed, and drained and the last thing you can think of is going to the gym or reading that book.

That’s exactly how I felt in my 1st year of teaching.

It felt like no matter how late I worked, I was always behind. I didn’t feel like the teacher I was meant to be and if I am being honest, I felt like I was letting my students down.

If this sounds like you, I want to let you know that you are not alone.

Did you know that according to Now Waiting For Superman 65% of teachers claim they are burnt out?

And you see that’s where self-care comes in. Today we are going to talk about:
