Practicing self-care is a crucial part of maintaining one's ability to be effective in assisting others in growing toward health both internally and externally. Self-care is so vital that it is woven into the ethical obligations of those who seek to counsel others.

Unless I am intentional in creating a self-care plan, I run the risk of sacrificing my own health in an attempt to help others only to end up failing all around. Personally, I utilize an array of strategies because some are more effective than others given the source and level of stress. My most effective strategies include:

Spending time with my family

Playing the guitar and singing

Building and construction

Reading and studying Scripture
