Teachers need brain breaks as much as their students do! Just as they improve student focus and performance in the classroom, they can help you recharge, think more clearly, and be your best. Take a few moments from your busy schedule to enjoy some quiet mindfulness. These breaks can serve as calming transitions between busy class activities. A brisk walk or stretch can also invigorate your mind and let you return to work refreshed. Finally, find things that lighten your mood, and have a good laugh! Humor is a wonderful mental reset that will help you keep perspective and disengage from the busiest parts of your day for a short time, so you can return with energy and focus. A well-timed personal brain break can give you the boost you need to help you teach and manage effectively.
