October Resolution

I haven't made a monthly resolution in a while and that's not surprising because I haven't really done much with this blog for a while but this is where everything changes. I am starting some resolutions for this month and I really hope that I can stick to them. Fingers crossed.

1. Blog more.

Now, how many times have I said this over my entire career of blogging? But I have been to a few NQT courses now and they stress trying t maintain a work/life balance (which right now I'm failing at) and maintaining those things that you love to do. And it just happens that I love to blog and write. I just never find the time to do it. And so, I have decided that this month will be the month that I get back to blogging. Even if that means that on Sunday night, I pre-write loads of blogs to make sure that I keep up regular blogging. Or if I spend the bus journey writing a quick blog to put out to you all. I aim to blog more.

And if I don't, please remind me. My comments go straight to my email and I check my emails daily so it'll be a nice reminder to keep up my blogging!!

2. Be positive.

I find by the end of the week, if I'm tired and feeling stressed, my positivity goes right the way downhill. It takes a nosedive and if it were an iceberg, it would be right at the bottom of the ocean. I know this is wrong because I work with little children and I feel myself getting irritated by them by the end of the week and I can't help but show it. I feel so bad and want to be the happy positive teacher all the time. I need to find ways to escape my downward spiral of being negative and feeling stressed and this might tie in with blogging more so I can vent my frustrations at you :)

3. Get out the house more.

I find myself saying no to invitations out and doing things because I feel tied down by my work. I literally think "If I spend that time going out, I won't have time to plan" and so I say no to my friends. That's really bad. I just find it hard to teach well and not get too overwhelmed if I've not planned everything to the last second. I'm still getting the hang of everything and I think that if I'm planned then nothing is going to go drastically wrong. I just need to find that work/life balance.

And what better way than to find it today with my friends? We are ging out for a pub dinner and I can't wait. Last week or the week before (I can't remember) we had planned to go out for dinner and it fell through, which I was really sad about so now I just hope we take it out and I can relax just a little bit :)
