Relax and Recharge over Winter Break
Overview
Behold! The glorious time of winter break is upon us! You get an opportunity to relax and recharge for the next few weeks, and hopefully dedicate a little time for yourselves. All too often, as we go through the hustle and bustle of the day to day grind, we fail to stop and reflect on what's most important, which is caring for ourselves. As the saying goes, "we wouldn't let our cell phone battery reach 1%, so why would we let ourselves get that low?" Now, with some time off, we can truly refocus our attention to the things that we love, and hold dear to us. Below are a few suggestions on how you can relax and recharge over Winter break.

Cruise Through Pinterest
Find a new "Tribe" on Twitter
You've read this many times before, and even above, but Twitter is a treasure trove for discovering ideas and sharing thoughts on the teaching day. Simply scrolling through a specific hashtag, tweeting about an aspect of the job, and tagging other educators would allow for a digital discussion to take place. If interested, I challenge you to find a hashtag of interest, throw it into a Google search and scroll. You don't even have to have a Twitter account to do this!
Visit a Teachers Humor Archive
If you need to recharge with a laugh, there is an entire archive of articles aimed at giving us a chuckle. The folks over at We Are Teachers have compiled an entire archive of items to escape the reality of our busy teacher schedules. Everything from articles focused on being "teacher tired" to lists about different aspects of the job. But, the best part of this archive are the countless collections of memes about teaching that are spot on! Each set in just as entertaining as the others, and a nice way to relax over break.
