3 Minute Breather for Teachers

Welcome, teachers, for this short guided meditation.

Remind yourself that meditation, there's no right way to do it. It's just an opportunity to still your mind, take a break from all the thoughts that you normally have—the planning, the to-do's of the future, thoughts of the past—and just be in the moment and be still.

So let's start by taking a few deep and controlled breaths together. In through our nose, hold, and out through our mouths. In through our nose, hold, and then out through your mouth.

Now, I encourage you to continue to breathe in a deep and controlled way, but as you do so, try to put a smile on your face. It might feel a little artificial, but I promise it'll actually feel good, even if your mood might not have made you want to smile. Just put a big cheesy smile on your face as you continue to breathe in and out.

As you go through the rest of your day, I encourage you to take breaks like this—moments of pause, moments of stillness, approached with a sense of acceptance, a sense of curiosity, even a sense of humor.

And remind yourself that as a teacher, you give so much of yourself to others, but you need to have a source of energy. For their sake, it's important that you take care of yourself. It’s important that you give your mind a break and be in the moment—in a moment of stillness and acceptance.

Maybe in a little way, resolve and refresh everything that's going on to tackle the day, the weeks, the months ahead.

Thank you.
