@gilsacademy: Today I wasn’t at my best. I was tired, low on energy, and at the end of the day I caught myself thinking that I hadn’t given my students 100% of me. And that bothered me. Because they show up. They make time between work, family and everything else going on in their lives. They bring their energy, even when it’s not easy. But then I realized I was expecting something from myself that I would never expect from them: to be at 100% every single day. Some days you have more to give. Some days you have less. Showing up with what you have still counts. So this is mostly a reminder to myself, but maybe someone else needs it today too: Be kind to yourself, especially on the days when you don’t feel like your best self.
