Write a reflection that describes your experience as you take more time for self care. Describe your experience, good times and hard times.

These type of assessments, while not diagnostic in nature, help paint a picture that can aid in identifying ways to take time for yourself.

-Part 1

Reflect on the scoring you gave each category. No need to add up points, this is not a diagnostic tool. It is just a way for you to think about your self care habits. Self care is important not just for clients you may see or work around in the future, it is absolutely important for you as well! Recharging is not just for your phone, you as a human also need to notice when your batteries are running low.

For the reflection portion choose a category of the assessment sheet and write a reflection talking about what you learned about yourself and how you can improve your self care habits.

-Part 2

Use the next month to actually involve yourself in an activity or concept to improve self care. You can chose to download an app that helps you track your chosen activity. At the end of your journey you will write a reflection that describes your experience as you take more time for self care. Describe your experience, good times and hard times.

Examples from previous classes: Drink more water, exercise more, quit smoking, better sleep, meditation/mindfulness.

If you find no aspects of self care that you can improve on then write a reflection describing what that’s like.

-Submission

You will be uploading two files. Part 1 and Part 2, you may choose to submit in the same submission- separate by section.

Note: You should not be submitting this by tomorrow or by the end of the week or even the next. Take the time to read through and really think about the nature of the assignment.
