Teachers, this book is a guide for taking care of education's most valuable resource: you. Author Jay Schroder, founder of the popular Teach from Your Best Self Institute, demonstrates why the version of ourselves that we bring to teaching matters and describes how we can rejuvenate ourselves while maximizing student learning. Part I explains why the self that a teacher brings to the classroom is important. Part II explores skills that will help us sustain a best-self state in all manner of situations. Part III delves into those moments when we're provoked beyond our limits and our "hurtspots" come sharply into view. It offers ways to avert a reactive state or recover from it. Lastly, Part IV provides simple approaches for building a more durable, best self for the long term—a best self with deepened capacity to respond rather than react in the pressurized conditions of teaching. With fresh ideas presented throughout, you'll learn how to prioritize your own well-being so you can continue to make a difference for your students.Ver libro

Hypnosis is a technique that can be used to promote better sleep by inducing a state of deep relaxation and heightened suggestibility. Here’s how it works:relaxation: the process typically begins with the individual being guided into a relaxed state, often through deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation. This helps reduce stress and tension;focused attention: once relaxed, the hypnotist or the individual focuses on calming imagery or soothing words. This concentration helps to quiet the mind and block out distractions;positive suggestions: in this relaxed state, positive suggestions related to sleep are introduced. These might include affirmations like "I am relaxed and ready for sleep" or visualizations of a peaceful sleeping environment;reinforcement: the suggestions can be repeated or reinforced during the session, helping to create a mental association between the relaxed state and the ability to fall asleep easily;awakening: after the session, the individual is gently brought back to full awareness, often feeling refreshed and more open to the suggestions made during hypnosis. By incorporating these techniques, hypnosis can help alleviate insomnia, reduce anxiety, and promote a more restful sleep.
