#TeacherCrushTuesday | The Teacher Self-Care Conference was A M A Z I N G! I presented alongside some of the worlds greatest teachers on all things self-care. This conference is so authentic, genuine, and necessary. Teachers pour their everything into our kids oftentimes at the expense of their own health. We met a teacher who had 327 sick days saved up and many others who are just trying to figure out how to keep going from day to day. When you're doing what you love, it can be hard to take time away from it. When you have one of the most important jobs in the world, it's tough navigating your way through pressure and priorities. I appreciate that this conference takes time to give us permission to put ourselves first and find sustainable ways to cope with the stress that comes with working in schools. •••
I'm grateful to do this work and I'm so glad to be a part of this team! Don't be sad if you missed us in Chicago, we'll be in San Antonio in January! See you there! #CreateAGreatDay #MakoMindfulness

One thing I love about teaching mindfulness is the simplicity of the practice. Everything about mindfulness has something to teach you, if you're open to learning from it. Every now and then I get someone who is super resistant to slowing down and paying attention to their breath and their body. When I've challenged them to consider "why" I've heard some pretty powerful responses.

Nowadays, we are always "on". Slowing down and being asked to notice yourself without judgement honestly weirds folks out. We want to touch our phones, see if everyone else is participating, and block out things that come up if you're not "busy" enough to ignore them. The first time you participate in a formal mindfulness practice, it may feel a little weird and uncomfortable but overtime the results are undeniable. I challenge you to sit up nice and straight, close your eyes, and take 10 deep breaths today. Just focus on your breath. Tomorrow do 15. It gets a little easier each day. Create a great one. ✨ #MakoMindfulness

I had a great time with my @LeadershipISd cohort visiting some @NorthDallasHS students. One girl at our table will be a future heart surgeon and another will be a lawyer! It’s one thing to be able to service students through my work, but sitting down and getting to know them really tugs on the heart strings. These students innocence, resilience, and hope remind me of my true “why”. Because they deserve it! #MakoLoveTheKids #LeadershipISD #ResilientYouth #DoWhatYouLove

Feedback was always something that was uncomfortable for me to accept. Not just negative feedback, positive too. It was just weird! I've found though, that with maturity, SOLICITED feedback has been one of the most valuable tools for my business, personal, and professional development. I find myself eager to send out surveys and review evals so I can provide a better experience to my future clients and tweak what's not making the cut. This is especially important because I don't have anyone giving me quarterly/yearly reviews. I depend on that feedback to get an outside view of how I'm doing. Also, a little affirmation never hurt anyone ;-) The most important thing revolving around feedback that I had to learn in my business was that I had to deliver what my customers were wanting/needing, not what I wanted for my customer. That alone has made a huge difference in the way I run my business. I'm steady learning not to get stuck in my ways and to be open to change in life and biz.

These are some of the results from a collection of surveys from my Dynamic Mindfulness Teacher Trainings that I'm especially proud of. I legit was in tears after I pulled the data. This was so humbling and affirming. They will only get better from here! You can check out my "event" highlights for the full scope! What are you service-based folks using to make sure your clients are satisfied? I want some new strategies for 2019! #Q4 #Entrepreneurship #Makopreneurship #CreateAGreatDay #GoalGetter #entrepreneurlife #entrepreneurmindset

I LOVE this for my personal AND business life. We really do reap what we sow for both positive and negative actions. I keep seeing a meme floating around that's talking about meeting people with the same energy they give you and I agree, but only to an extent. If someone decides to be a total jerk to you, you DO NOT have to do the same back. We have to take responsibility for our individual actions and attitudes because that's the consequence we truly have to deal with. Focus on being the things that you want to see in your life. If you want to be loved, be loving. If you want to be respected, respect others. If you want more reasons to be grateful, focus on all the little opportunities to say “thank you” each day. If you want more contracts, position your business to be more contractable. Be whatever it is that you're trying to find, and create a great day ✨ #MakoMindfulness
