49. How to Pause Before Reacting: Strategies for Teachers to Stay Calm Under Stress
In this episode of EdYouWell, we’re focusing on the power of learning to pause before reacting. As teachers—and as people—we often face moments that trigger our fight, flight, or freeze responses. Responding thoughtfully instead of reacting impulsively can make all the difference in how we manage our classrooms, relationships, and daily stresses.
We’ll share real-life examples from teaching and home life, break down what happens during stress responses, and offer practical strategies to help you create space for better decision-making. Learning to pause can protect your well-being, strengthen your connections with others, and help you handle challenges with greater calm and clarity.
