Small Habits Create Big Change

Summary

Small Habits Create Big Change is a collection of micro-habits that educators can use to reclaim their mental health and love for their jobs. This book helps you identify your unique personality type, so you can find the hacks and tweaks that will actually work as you strive to manage stress and reignite your passion for working with students. Many educators feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and on the verge of burnout, but it's never too late to turn things around. Psychologist Rebecca Branstetter gives you solutions that you can use while you work, so you don't have to sacrifice your scarce downtime.



Large-scale approaches to preventing educator burnout often fail to consider an important fact—educators are individuals, and no one-size-fits-all solution will fit everyone. People's innate strengths and weaknesses play a big part in determining whether the changes we make are likely to work for us. This book accounts for what makes you who you are, giving you options, ideas, and proven strategies that set you up for success.



This book isn't just about understanding who you are. It's about preventing burnout by aligning your work with your core strengths, values, and habits. All K-12 educators will benefit from this balanced approach to work, fostering self-compassion, mindfulness, and resilience.
