When I first started teaching I quickly realized that each day took
a lot out of me mentally and physically.
I attribute my excellent attendance record because I learned how to
deal with stress (and I taught in a school that was air conditioned
with bullet holes and you tripped over crack vials on your way
inside).

I exercised regularly and ate properly.
On weekends I made sure that I did fun things to recharge my
batteries.
Surround yourself with colleagues who will support you and not dwell
on negatives. Be careful what you say in Teacher Rooms.
