Juggling Hats – Work Life Balance

A workshop on “Juggling Hats – Work Life Balance” was conducted for teachers of the Senior Wing at Blue Bells Model School, under the inspiring mentorship of Dr. Alka Saxena, and facilitated by Ms. Chetna, Senior Associate Psychologist, MyPeegu, on August 12, 2026. The session focused on helping teachers navigate their multiple professional and personal responsibilities while prioritising wellbeing and sustainable energy management.

The workshop commenced with the “Human Orchestra: Setting the Tone” activity, enabling teachers to reflect on the diverse personalities, needs, and expectations within a classroom. It highlighted the complexity of creating a harmonious learning environment while responding to varied dynamics.

Through “The Great Juggle: Many Hats, One Professional,” participants identified the numerous roles they undertake beyond teaching—including mentoring, counselling, guiding, and supporting students. The discussion emphasised the need to balance these responsibilities without compromising personal wellbeing.

The “Spotlight vs Shadow” activity encouraged teachers to distinguish between visible, acknowledged contributions and the less visible responsibilities that consume considerable time and emotional energy. This reflection helped participants recognise and validate the often-unseen mental and emotional load of their work.

The session concluded with an introduction to the “Window of Tolerance,” helping teachers recognise signs of stress and emotional overwhelm. The concepts of hyperarousal and hypoarousal enabled participants to understand their responses to stress and reinforced the importance of self-awareness, emotional regulation, and timely restoration.

Overall, the workshop offered meaningful reflection and practical perspectives to help teachers manage their many hats with greater awareness, balance, and resilience.
