Small Habits Create Big Change
Strategies to Avoid Burnout and Thrive in Your Education Career
About this book
Small on-the-job changes you can make to identify your strengths, prevent burnout, and maintain your passion for being an educator
Small Habits Create Big Change is a valuable collection of micro-habitsāsmall, science-backed adjustmentsāthat educators can use to reclaim their mental health and their love for their jobs. This book helps you identify your unique personality type, so you can find the hacks and tweaks that will actually work as you strive to manage stress and reignite your passion for working with students. Many educators feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and on the verge of burnout, but it's never too late to turn things around. Best of all, psychologist Rebecca Branstetter gives you solutions that you can use while you work, so you don't have to sacrifice your already-scarce downtime.
Large-scale approaches to preventing educator burnout often fail to consider an important factāeducators are individuals, and no one-size-fits-all solution will really fit everyone. People's innate strengths and weaknesses play a big part in determining whether the changes we make are likely to work for us. This unique book accounts for what makes you who you are, giving you options, ideas, and proven strategies that set you up for success. This way, you can manage stress, battle burnout, and get excited about your career once again.

- Learn micro-habits that turn research about burnout prevention into transformation in your daily life
- Understand how to tap into your core strengths and protect your positive energy
- Personalize your action steps with a Thriving Roadmap
This book isn't just about understanding who you are. It's about preventing burnout by aligning your work with your core strengths, values, and habits. All K-12 educators, including school psychologists and school-based mental health providers, will benefit from this balanced approach to work, fostering self-compassion, mindfulness, and resilience.
