As we step into a new year, let’s start with a simple truth: Taking care of yourself isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Educators like you are often so focused on supporting your students, colleagues and communities that personal well-being takes a back seat. That changes this year. Share My Lesson is excited to introduce a new lineup of educator wellness events designed to help you reflect, recharge, and build habits that support your health, happiness and success in 2025.
To kick off 2025 with intention, we’re challenging you to do the following:
This year is all about empowering you to thrive—one step, one challenge, and one webinar at a time. So mark your calendars and take the first step by registering for January’s session. Let’s make 2025 a year of resilience, growth and self-care. You deserve it.
Starting this month, we’re rolling out free, for-credit monthly wellness webinars, self-care challenges, practical tips and resources tailored to meet your needs as an educator. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming your way:
On Jan. 29, join Kathy Dorman for “8 Dimensions of Wellness.” This session will explore the eight areas of wellness—physical, emotional, social, spiritual, intellectual, environmental, occupational and financial—that shape your overall well-being. Together, we’ll reflect on where you are and set achievable goals to improve one area at a time. Register here.
Self-Care Challenge: Choose one dimension of wellness to focus on for the month. Maybe it’s committing to 15 minutes of exercise, reconnecting with friends, or setting clearer work-life boundaries. Small steps, big change!
On Feb. 26, Jim Arey brings us “Personal Transformation Through Collective Resistance.” This powerful session will dive into how meaningful connections and community action help combat stress, heal trauma and promote well-being. You’ll leave with actionable strategies to care for yourself while uplifting others around you. Register here.
Self-Care Tip: Schedule time for connection. Reach out to a colleague, join a peer support group, or discuss this month’s webinar in the Health and Wellness Community as an act of community care.
On March 26, we’ll explore how educators can thrive in challenging times with “Educators Thriving.” This month, we’ll focus on strategies to reframe your mindset, build resilience, and find joy and meaning in your work. Register here.
Self-Care Tip: Reflect on what thriving means for you—personally and professionally. Write it down and take one step toward that vision.
On April 23, Chuck Wilson presents “W.O.O.P. Your Well-being: How Reflecting on Obstacles Brings Our Dreams to Life.” Learn how the W.O.O.P. method—Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan—can help you achieve goals in your personal and professional life. Register here.
Self-Care Challenge: Create a W.O.O.P. goal for yourself and share it with a friend or colleague to keep you accountable.
Rounding out our spring programming on May 7, we’ll introduce “Mindfulness Meditation for Educators.” In this session, you’ll learn practical mindfulness techniques to reduce stress, improve focus, and create a calm, supportive learning environment for yourself and your students. Register here.
Self-Care Tip: Dedicate five minutes a day to mindfulness meditation—starting with deep breathing or a guided mindfulness exercise.
Register now for the Jan. 29 webinar, and check out the full lineup of wellness events to come.
We are bringing fitness instructors, social-emotional and mental health leaders, and nutritionists together so we can collectively “workout” and de-stress our bodies and our minds.
