The article that I picked to read on mindtools.com was about stress. I went to stress management and looked at the article “Tofflers Stability Zones, Find Peace Among Chaos”. You see I work in a high school in a special education classroom and some days can be ……. Difficult. It is hard to know what will happen on which day. Most days the students are great, and some days something may have happened to upset one of them. Then you better be on your toes! The article talked about having “one of those days” and just needing to go home leaving all of it at work. It talked about having a “zone” that was calming for you. It could be a place (my desk), an idea (Faith), people (you are comfortable with), things (a favorite book), or an organization (church). When you get stressed you can go to or think about these things and they will help you find some peace. While at work I think that I could share this with my co workers and we could find a place that we could all go to, it could be our zone. We would have to do it on our lunch break, but we could go there and just have peace and quiet or talk about something other than work. Don’t get me wrong, I love my students and love to work with them every day but some days I need “peace among the chaos”!
