Published: September 15, 2025
Welcome to Issue 3 of PGL Inspiration September 2025—our monthly rhythm designed to nurture reflection, connection, and the human side of global learning. Each month, we explore a theme that invites you to pause, recenter, and grow with purpose in community.
This month we’re focusing on wellness as a practice of returning to what matters most. When we’re grounded and rested, we can show up with clarity—for ourselves, our classrooms, and our communities.

🌱 This Month’s Prompt
Where do you feel most rooted right now—in routine, relationships, or practices?
What small choices help you return to what matters most when life gets full?
🌀 Mini Practice:
List the challenges on your mind.
Draw two circles (or fold a page in half).
Inside the circle: things you can influence—your effort, responses, priorities.
Outside the circle: things you can’t control—others’ actions, external deadlines, unexpected events.
Focus on what you can control. Give your attention to the items inside the circle; acknowledge and release the ones outside.
Act on the inside. Choose one small step you’ll take this week (what/when).
