Inside Beyond Self-Care

The workbook is designed to help you make the ideas from Stay Grounded become a part of you. It’s designed to help you slow down, sort what you’re carrying, and make more intentional decisions especially in the moments when everything starts to feel like too much.

The workbook has 3 parts:

  1. Depth: Engage in deeper reflections on the chapters
  2. Rhythm: Monthly guides with practices aligned to the ebb and flow of the academic year
  3. Reset: A guide that can be used at any time to interrupt negative patterns

October: When Everything Feels Like Too Much

October is one of the heaviest points in the year for many educators.

The pace hasn’t slowed. The expectations are still high.
And the sense of “I’ll catch up soon” has usually faded.

These pages are designed to help you step out of that pressure just long enough to see what’s actually happening and decide what to do with it.

If you prefer flexibility and plan to write in your own journal, type your answers, or process in a different way, the digital version of the journal may be for you.

Each month in the workbook focuses on a different pattern that shows up throughout the year.

You’ll find simple structures to help you:

  • notice what’s building
  • name the kind of work you’re holding
  • contain what actually needs your attention
  • and release what doesn’t

It’s not about doing more. It’s about carrying less with more clarity.

Pairs with the Stay Grounded book for deeper context and guidance.
