I just rediscovered two old posts/threads of mine, that explain pretty well, why I want to go into pedagogy now (I didn't know it back then - too busy working on my depression and hating school):

Content warning: Childhood trauma

I want to protect children.
I want to provide them a save environment to thrive and talk about their troubles.
In a perfect school system kids would learn mental hygiene and get therapy before they learn integrals and the uncritical history of wars and power abuse. That would prevent so much domestic abuse, because it would be caught early.
And teaching kids emotional and social competence before teaching them applied capitalism will prevent abuse, division, exploitation and hate in the future.

I want to teach children to be happier than me, less abusive than my stepdad, more empathetic than my mom and more protective of future generations than my teachers were.

That's why I'm studying animal assisted pedagogy and will start studying social pedagogy, trauma pedagogy and environmental pedagogy this fall.

Just as we nourish our bodies, our minds require tending to flourish. So, here's my share of simple yet profound practices you can adopt to maintain your mental wellbeing.

Do you have a favourite mental hygiene practice?

Just as we invest time in tidying our homes, our minds deserve the same TLC. Much like an often-overlooked attic gathering dust and clutter, our minds can become a resting place for unnecessary worries and outdated beliefs that no longer serve us.

Practising mental hygiene isn't a luxury, but a necessity.

What do you think?

As structure can be an important factor for a healthy psyche, I guess I take the chance and foster some habbits that I wasn't able to integrate into my everyday life before. Taking the gift of two extra hours à day to #establishthegoodhabit . #nocommuting #mentalhygiene
