Teacher, Does Stress Morph You into a Monster?

We need to spring back to a stable identity, with a stable inner referent that makes us feel comfortable and safe

. For example, a schoolteacher, over the summer, might have a chance to spend a lot of time alone, just reading, walking through the woods, enjoying their own company, perhaps even painting a picture. By simply enjoying them self, they feel more genuine and comfortable inside and out. However, then they need to return to teaching school in the fall. Over a course of the following school year, by the time the next May or June comes along, they can hardly recognize them self anymore (again). The real work that they did on themself in the summer, returning to their internal referent to heal is gone. They feel as if they have their feet to the fire for nine months of the school year. Again, they can hardly wait to have time by themself and to get to know them self again. watch this about teacher stress http://www.veoh.com/browse/videos/category/educational_and_howto/watch/v17489191ySYcHbHw

However, each time they get to know them self again, they are not them self anymore. They have not gone back to their comfortable baseline reality often enough. Becoming changed by stress causes teachers to "morph" into another way of being alive to withstand the rigorous demands of today's modern society. The burn out ratein education is so high that anything we can to prevent it will benefit many.

What is true for a schoolteacher is also true for a healer or anyone in the helping professions. However, anyone who is a meditator should work toward developing a steady, sincere relationship with higher being that needs to be returned to daily. Better yet, twice a day. A meditator who is in retreat will do that six times a day. Enlightened beings never leave the internal referent.
