Description:

Learn from the past, prepare for the future, live in the present! The past is a construct of memory, while the future is a product of imagination. Every day, we choose to live in one of these two temporal dimensions, either running from the present or simply ignoring it.

Living in the present is a challenge because it means accepting life as it is now, not as we would like it to be. Living in acceptance means that what we have now is what we need, what we can control, and what can bring us peace, joy, satisfaction, fulfillment, and motivation.

This collection contains 100 exercises in breathing, meditation, concentration, and reflection. By practicing these exercises, teachers will become more self-aware, understanding their values and qualities, and gaining insight into their current situations. They will learn techniques for living in the present moment, which will help them regain energy during difficult times and discover how to better understand themselves, listen to their thoughts, understand their emotions, and make conscious choices for their own well-being and that of their students.

By paying more attention to their own emotional balance, improving their mental and emotional health, and developing routines that help them relax and make their professional lives easier, teachers will be able to meet challenges and help their students reach their full academic potential.
