Today's daily peace action involved setting aside five minutes to reflect mindfully on my emotional state before the start of the day. I selected this action because I've been experiencing feelings of tiredness and being overwhelmed by my workload, and I hoped it would help me center myself and approach the day with a more balanced mindset.
In my journal, I documented my initial feelings upon waking—a blend of anxiety and exhaustion stemming from the anticipation of the day's tasks. I then found a quiet space, sitting comfortably, and closing my eyes to concentrate on my breath. I took slow breaths and deliberately released any tension I felt. During this time, I attempted to recognize any negative emotions and gently let them go, replacing them with thoughts of gratitude for the positive aspects of my job and life.
I am glad that I dedicated those five minutes to myself, as before meditation used to be a part of my daily routine. Pausing and reflecting allowed me to ground myself and approach my responsibilities more clearly. I need to reintegrate this practice into my personal life, and it could also be beneficial before entering the classroom. By managing my emotional state, I can create a more peaceful and focused learning environment for my students.
Today's daily peace action has been a valuable experience. It provided me with a tool to manage my stress and emotions and also inspired me to teach my students about self-regulation and emotional balance. I plan to continue this practice and explore ways to integrate it into my teaching to foster a more peaceful and mindful classroom atmosphere.
