We need to heal... As an educator, I am burned out. I am tired. I want to rest. The weekends are no longer sufficient to help me recover. I am just tired.
I am very overwhelmed. Who else is overwhelmed? Yet, I hold a PhD- the highest level of education in the system. I have written a number of books on the areas of education- yet I am so unsure of myself, and what I bring to the table. I cannot get over this unbelievable ongoing narrative that I am not good enough. I do not belong. I do not fit in. Education is a field that demands the impossible: perfection to other people's standards. I hear and see far too many people who doubt themselves, like me. We are impostors? Or are we just reflective? I was taught to do my best, yet I cannot get over the fact that my best just does not seem good enough. Weirdly, cats seem to think I am good enough. But why professionally can I not shake this feeling I am not good enough. Comments are closed.
