The only person who can take care of you is you, stepping back to regroup and reenergize is a necessity to stay healthy physically and mentally.
I need to work on including more of these mindfulness exercises to my daily/work life.

One stressor at a time is a good strategy, but sometimes hard to do with constant distractions (email, students, coworkers, etc).

I have found it to be helpful to let the computer grade certain assignments, such as math related assignments. Other assignments require attention and feedback such as certain map making assignments.

Showing that we are human is good, preparation helps.
Limiting opportunities for students to cheat would help them focus on trying their best on assessments.
