About this listen

How do you stay regulated when teaching feels overwhelming? Join the ESSDACK Resilience Team (Ginger & Eric) for a short, powerful Quick Bite on building emotional resilience through Personal Mantras.

We discuss the concept of the "Enlightened Witness" and how remembering one supportive person in your life can change your entire mindset.

Learn how to:

  1. Identify your "Safe Person" (Enlightened Witness).

  2. Extract the "I Am" message they gave you.

  3. Use that message as a shield against burnout and negativity in schools.

Why this matters for educators: If you can anchor yourself in a truth like "I am enough" or "I deserve to be here," you can show up for your students (and yourself) with more patience and calm.

Resources:

  • Family Peace Initiative (Topeka, KS)

  • Concepts from Alice Miller & Carl Jung

👇 Question for you: Who is your person? Let us know in the comments (you don't have to name names, just drop a ❤️ if you have one).
