As I struggled to manage my homelife and my family; my blogs and comments; getting started on the Web 2.0 paper; and reviewing the demands of the five Lessons assignment (all this within the mind set that I am on vacation) I started to feel a bit overwhelmed. The longer I sat and stared at the computer screen, the closer I came to pulling out my hair in frustration (according to Colin Karr). I wanted to cry and give up but the inner voice in me asked, "What did you do when you were pursuing your Dip. Ed. and you reached this point? What did you do to overcome that feeling?" Then I distinctly remembered Dr. Pierre's recommendation to engage in 'Autogenic Training'. After engaging in a few sessions, I felt so light and refreshed that I had to share this recommendation with you all.
I felt it important to share this recommendation with you all because I do not know how many of you realise how very important this ICT course is to the continuance of your career and having to deal with the 21st century students. You must come to realize that even if you are feeling overwhelmed, you must do something to overcome that feeling because we can not entertain the option of giving up. If perhaps you are experiencing this feeling, I recommend a few sessions of Autogenic Training and I garantee you will feel a difference. In my next blog I will venture to explain what Autogenic Training is and discuss some of the many benefits to be derived from engaging in such an exercise. In the meantime, just keep doing little by little.
