Your Body
Take care of your body: Training to be a teacher can be very time consuming, especially if you're working, too. As you consider becoming a teacher you are going to need to realize that you are going to be carrying out some very stressful activities and you are going to have some very long days. This means that you may feel overwhelmed at times. It becomes very easy to forget about taking care of yourself when this happens.

Therefore, it will be very important for you to make sure that you are continually taking care of yourself and your body when you are working on becoming a teacher.

It's easy to let your body's needs fall to the wayside while education classes are exercising your brain and eating your time. You want to be sure that you are getting enough rest, plenty of healthy foods and even enough exercise as you are going to through the coursework that will enable you to become a teacher.

Carry some fruit or nuts with you throughout the day so that you are not frequently overwhelmed by an empty stomach and struggling with becoming unfocused because you have not eaten. Don't neglect your body! If you don't eat regularly, you could find yourself falling asleep in class or doodling hamburgers instead of taking notes. Carry granola bars, dried fruit, or beef jerky with you when you know you have a long day ahead. Likewise, if you don't exercise, you might suffer insomnia or increased stress levels.

None Becoming a teacher will be much easier if you take an occasional break from studying to go for a walk, a run, or a swim. Next, you might find yourself tired and stressed out on a regular basis. When this happens you will want to set aside the class work and take a run or a brisk walk. This is an ideal way to get rid of extra stress, help you sleep better at night and refocus your thoughts on the task at hand.

You are going to see that the more effort you place on taking care of your body, the easier it will be for you become a great teacher.
