Awakened

Change Your Mindset to Transform Your Teaching (Second Edition)

By: Angela Watson

Narrated by: Angela Watson

Do the never-ending pressures of teaching drain you emotionally?

Is a lack of resources and support stealing your enthusiasm?

Are the small daily hassles adding up and overwhelming you?

Showing up in the classroom as the best version of yourself each day requires serious mental fortitude. This book will empower you to develop the resilient, flexible, positive mindset you need to:

• Change your perception of setbacks by replacing judgment with curiosity
• Observe your thoughts and select the ones that create results you want
• Honor your intuition, mind-body connection, and emotions for the insights they provide
• Let go of bias, unrealistic expectations, standards, and comparisons
• Practice radical acceptance to stay motivated even when you don't see results
• Realize a sense of accomplishment in a job that's truly never done

Drawing upon principles of stress management, cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, mindfulness, and teacher experiences, Awakened helps you develop thought habits that produce a greater sense of satisfaction, motivation, and purpose. Learn how to renew your mind and take a fresh approach toward the challenges of teaching!

A balm for the tired teachers soul

What an amazing book to read (listen to) over my winter break. Any teacher of any subject area or age can benefit from Angela’s wise, calming words. My attitude towards my job, and therefore my life is improved by reading this book. I plan on re-reading for years to come, and gifting it to all teachers in my life.

Angela Watson is a guru

I adore Angela Watson and her love for education. Her work is proof of it and this book is included.

Great book

Angela gives lots of ways to help stay positive in teaching while understanding the challenges we face.

Your own personal therapist

Excellent. Just what I needed. Realistic, practical and actionable advice for teachers. I will listen to this multiple times per year like I do with one of Angela’s other books, Fewer Things, Better.

Wonderful, mindset-changing fuel for teachers!

Angela is the guru of teaching and minaret work. Her voice is pleasant to listen to and her advice is so helpful in the daily struggles of classroom teaching. Transformative!
