Stress

It was kind of interesting about the stress discussion that we had this morning, and the question about stress in the final. I think teaching is a very stressful job if the teacher is not good with stress management. I know that every time something does not go well at school, it would bother me even when I get home and in my sleep. I sometimes take things too personally. There are certain things I can control and something that is out of my control. I often remind myself that I only can change things if I have control over them, the rest of uncontrolled factors, I just have to accept them and move on. I think that teachers who are good and effective need to know how to destress. De-stress can include activities like talking to someone about the problems, be proactive instead of reactive, stay in shape, have some hobbies, or just be true to yourself. A stressed out teacher, or principal will not be effective in their work.
