This journal is meant for you, the teacher and school leader, because you deserve it. By giving yourself Permission to Pause for a few minutes each day, you gain clarity on your priorities and unravel what is worth nurturing and what you can let go.

Your time is precious, and journaling is an investment in yourself.

Veteran teacher, presenter, and author Dorothy VanderJagt brings you this 80-day journal with prompts to help you develop greater self-care and mindfulness. Daily journal pages include areas to:

• Focus on your self-care
• Write what you are thankful for and why
• Reflect on how you make a difference
• Jot down an action to become a more mindful educator
• Take action (including a large bank of action items and descriptions)
• Free-write your thoughts

Start journaling now, and ramp up your self-care, when you need it most.
