1.Break down whatever you have to do into smaller tasks.
2.Think of things that make teaching fun for you - and do them!
3.Deal openly with a colleague who has bothered or upset you before the situation festers.
4.Try not to take things personally because often comments aren't meant to be digs.
5.Stay in close touch with nature. Talk to classroom pets, take a class outdoors if weather and school policy permit it, open the windows at snack time, find a way to incorporate the change of seasons and nature walks into your curriculum.
6.Make time during the school year for your hobbies. Don't wait for summer vacation.
7.Apologize when you're wrong.
8.Put a cartoon or photo that makes you laugh in you plan book or desk drawer and look at it when you need a boost.
9.Take a walk during lunch, a planning period, or after school. During your walk, don't think about the things you have to do.
10.Steer clear of the coffee pot in the faculty room. Too much caffeine can make you nervous and irritable.
11.Keep in mind that no matter what colleagues, your principal, students, or parents think or say, you're basically a good teacher who can't please all the people all the time.
12.Don't listen to the rumors that fly around the school.
13.Give yourself permission to do absolutely nothing for five minutes a day — and not feel guilty about it.
14.Just say no. Politely refuse to take on more projects than you can handle, even if a colleague, your principal, or a parent asks you to.
15.Be grateful to have a meaningful job.
