Your Brain on Email
January 6, 2015
Express your opinion on this issue

Reading and writing emails is associated with unhealthy levels of stress, reports Psychology Today (February 2015; page 12). Here are some tips they offer to prevent email from taking over your life:

  • Start each day with a routine that sets a stress-free tone. Spend those first 20 minutes of your day focusing on things that nourish you — running, meditating, cuddling with a pet.
  • Create a task list before you even open your inbox. Schedule email time, but keep it in its place.
  • Take a breather before you respond to a stressful message. Engage in an activity that helps you restore your peace of mind or state of well being.



Learning From the Bumps in the Road

As you read about the bumps the authors have encountered throughout their careers, you will be encouraged and challenged to think more deeply and openly about your own practices and philosophies. You will gain a renewed sense of purpose as you help children reach their full potential. And, you will discover — as the authors did — that every bump in the road is an invitation to grow and opportunity to learn.
