This activity reinforced it is okay to self care and step away from workplace stress when needed in order to combat burnout and fatigue. Taking care of me first will allow more long term successes. 

If decisions are difficult to make and hard to explain, taking time is a great action to take.  If an action will be difficult to explain to my peers or those in authority, then maybe I should refrain from the action because it may be unethical.  

Sometimes we need stress to take action, but we get to teach ourselves some discipline on how to turn stress on and off. Generally speaking, we cannot control all causes of stress, but we should identify the triggers for each episode of stress and design their equivalent for something we can control for two reasons. One, to trigger some stress in moments we are lacking motivation; and two, to turn off the stress we can control in those moments that we are in situations we cannot control and are a source of bad stress.

As a senior staff member, I realize how important it is to set a good example, especially for "newer" employees. I've learned that whether I like it or not, my seniority has an influence - if I exhibit positive work behaviours, others follow suit. If I complain, others complain.

Recently, I have deepened my understanding of modern diesel technology and welding techniques, which are crucial for preparing my students for careers in these fields. Learning about the latest advancements in diesel engine efficiency and the best practices in welding safety and technique has been particularly enlightening.

One major takeaway is the importance of hands-on training combined with theoretical knowledge. I plan to incorporate more practical, project-based learning into my curriculum, allowing students to work on real diesel engines and engage in welding projects. This approach will help them gain the practical skills necessary to troubleshoot and repair equipment effectively.… >>>

This course made me realize how you can handle stress in life.
