What other *Learning Institution* staff are doing to take care of themselves
*Here, insert quotes from staff about how to they take care of themselves – examples are provided below.*
- Julia – “My best self-care tip is to do something you love to do. I will always do something during my day, or afterwards, just for me. It just gives me my space back.”
- Travis – “Make the time to spend at least 30 minutes away from the desk or classroom each day. Ideally in a non-work related space, or with colleagues in the break room. No work talk allowed.”
- Vanna – “When I get home I make an effort to mark the end of the work day. Changing my clothes makes a physical shift out of work mode.”
- Julian – “Make your teaching fun for both you and your students. Set up activities that you enjoy doing as well.”
- Trish – “I use breathing techniques at stressful times to maintain my sense of wellbeing.”
- Michael – “I talk to my coworkers and manager when I notice things aren’t working well, and make sure processes improve.”
