TECH TIP OF THE WEEK
Words of Wisdom
Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.
~ Helen Keller
Negativity is such an energy drain, isn't it? It spirals into anxiety and fear and judgement. Seems logical that we should just keep our faces to the sunshine, but life doesn't always make that an easy choice for us. We can't always choose our situation, but we can choose how we respond to it. It may be something we don't like or don't have control over but remember this: You don't have to like the situation to find a positive solution for handling it. And it's a teaching opportunity. When we find something positive even in a negative situation, we teach our students that good can often come from bad.
With something to think about . . .
Remember to take care of yourself.
Next time something gets under your skin, look for a positive spin on the situation. Notice your overall feeling after choosing to not get upset.
Happy Birthday!
