Teacher Workload Is So Intense It Is Leaving No Time For You?

You know that it is time to stop and have a break, eat dinner, or go to bed but if you just do one more thing it will feel better right?

Except it doesn’t. Making excuses that other things take priority leaves you exhausted and too tired to find the energy to do anything for you.

That is why boundaries are so important.

The trouble is you find it hard to say no. Some tasks ‘have’ to be done. They need you.

Other’s Needs Always Come FirstPutting yourself last on the list is leaving you with little time to replenish your energy. 

ANXIETY AND LACK OF FOCUS INCREASE

Overwhelm and overthinking turn into physical sensations of anxiety and tasks take twice as long as ever to complete. You are beginning to forget things and with all those things being added to the never-ending to-do list you start to feel you are not good enough.

LACK OF TIME 

There are too many things needed to be done and you cannot rest until it’s done. Leaving very little time, if any, for you.

I WAS ONCE THERE TOO

Exhausted, working long hours. Not knowing what to do in my free time even if I had it because I was so tired I did not have any energy left to do anything for myself and even if I did it wouldn’t be long until I picked up another piece of work again.

Until I learned how to listen to my body

Now I had Balance I felt calmer and a little more in control of the choices in my life but something felt missing. I still could not understand what my body was trying to tell me.

Through trial and error and countless hours of research, I understood how to reduce anxiety at any given moment, fuel my body with food that helped me have more energy and focus, and communicate in a way that my to-do list began to get (what felt like) magically shorter!

Now I am on a mission to help other teachers understand the signals their body is giving them too!

I always felt on edge and like everything needed to be done yesterday

Why do I constantly feel anxious? Why can’t I just switch off? When will I finally get through the to-do list and have time for me?? 

It was late evening as I sat down on my sofa but what program I had on Netflix I truly cannot remember. Every time I tried to switch off my mind would go back to overthinking the decision I needed to make at work. I would pick up my phone thinking ‘If I just do that quick thing I can tick it off the to-do list and then I will be able to switch off without the guilt’.

Never worked. There was always ‘one more thing’ until I would just collapse from exhaustion.

I had tried the traditional methods of buying a planner, writing to-do lists in different ways, and pushing through but honestly the immediate list for my attention just never seemed to stop.

I was wired but tired and enough was enough.

Then it hit me. I suddenly felt calm. The decision was made. If I wanted to be able to switch off I needed to put myself first. My life could not be all about work anymore and what everybody else needed.

I invested in coaches and began to study the mind and body implementing everything that I learned on myself to see if I could stop my mind from racing. Step by step balance was created and I could finally switch off – without the guilt, headaches, or stomach pain.

Hi, I’m Annabel

Nice to ‘meet’ you. Over the past few years, I have helped hundreds of teachers reduce overwhelm, stop overthinking, and avoid and recover from burnout through work-life balance coaching and holistic health support.

What I learned through overcoming burnout and coaching clients to do the same was that most teacher well-being programs take up a lot of time and don’t focus on lifelong results. They are not person-centred but rather one size fits all leading to short-term fixes rather than an improved overall health and wellbeing.

It is my aim to coach teachers to better understand themselves and their own personal needs at any given moment. Providing long-lasting results and clarity so that no matter how busy life gets you can switch off without guilt and enjoy a work-life balance.

Imagine What Life Could Be Like If You Were Able To Set Your Boundaries And Stick To Them Like I Do…

What would you give to be able to lay in bed at night without worrying if you did things right that day or whether you have forgotten anything for tomorrow?

You just pulled the covers over you and when your head hit the pillow and you closed your eyes you drifted off into a deep, quality sleep.

How about if you could know that everything that you have done is good enough and that the children are okay without you having to finish everything ‘perfectly’ all the time?

Wouldn’t it be great to finish work on time and be able to enjoy your weekend’s guilt and worry-free so you can have the energy to get creative, spend time with friends and family, or enjoy a bubble bath with a good book without thinking about work?

Sounds amazing right?

It is time to discover a happier life outside work by understanding how to quickly listen to your own body and make a decision to put yourself first without guilt.
