Monday Mindset: Be About It
from Teaching Middle School ELA Hosted by Caitlin Mitchell
The other day I was listening to a short snippet from the CEO of a basketball camps company about "being about it." And the premise was this. All too often we sit in thinking mode. We have an idea or something we want to go do or a dream we want to accomplish, but we don't ever act. And it got me thinking about you, as a teacher. As teachers, it can be incredibly challenging to "be about it" because we don't have very much time in the day to dedicate to much else beyond teaching - especially with all of the extra things you have to do as a teacher. And I wonder how life could be different if that wasn't the case. What would life look like for you if you did have time to do what you wanted to do? What would you be about? What actions would you take and put into place to create a different life for yourself - one that aligns with your deepest values? Because when our values, actions, and results all align ... that's when many of us will find true inner happiness. And I wonder, too, if you want to be about that, what could you do this week differently that would allow you the space to do so? Would it be rinsing and repeating a lesson? Or surrendering and letting things be easy? Or prepping a week in advance to set your future self up for success? Because as I see it, we all have options in life - even when it's hard and it really might not seem like it. So, what will you "be about" this week?
