Coping With Stress:
Tips for Educators
Before educators can help students cope with their problems and be ready to learn, they must first take time to care for themselves, says Dr. Leah Davis. The following are ways educators can take control of their lives and manage their own stress so that they will be available to assist their students.

Make a list of things that you enjoy doing that are good for you. Arrange to do one a day.

Write down how you see yourself a year, five years, or ten years from now. Share your ideas and goals with someone you trust.

Write down at least five of your worries. Rank order your list by their importance in your life. By each worry write Accept, Change, or Reject. For each worry decide what your first step will be toward accepting, changing or rejecting it. Carry out the steps you listed.
