As a school leader, does it feel impossible to find a calm, clear headspace that allows you to really pause and reflect on what’s important for your school community, your team and for you? It’s not surprising as schools are such demanding environments, there’s nowhere else quite like them! There’s always a fire to be put out which can leave you and your team in a constant state of fight or flight as you deal with it or anticipate the next one. This heightened state is not conducive to creativity, growth and the development of new ideas. Within education, there are so many different needs, expectations and judgements to manage, and that’s before you factor in your own high, and often unrealistic, expectations, relentless demands and harsh self-judgement! These all place an additional strain on your energy and can negatively impact your performance, your professional relationships and your wellbeing. These constant judgements, distractions and demands create a tangle in your mind and make it hard to focus. Trying to unravel and order your thoughts on your own is frustrating and draining; pulling on them just makes things worse and much harder to unpick! This causes you to lose sight of your purpose, to rush into decisions and to make compromises to such an extent that you’re not even sure of what you believe any more.
