I always find it amazing how a person's expectations of themselves often differs to the expectations that they hold of other people.
One person might well advocate work/life or study/life balance one minute, but that evening not stop working until late.
Or a person's self-talk and reflection might be more negative than if they were talking to someone else.

Things like this need to change. It's all well and good people advocating for and , but people still come under criticism when they practise self-care.

This is not cool.

In a post-pandemic world (I'm optimistic for the future - we are not there yet), workplaces and schools need to prioritise this. Being kind to yourself should be an everyday occurrence, not the last resort.

This last half term has been so busy with exams and new students, I’ve ended up letting social media posts slip a bit.
Even so, it’s been lovely to get messages like this from parents. The first sessions are always a bit nerve-wracking for students, but by the end it’s smiles all round. 😆
