self care is really important to me but i struggle a lot with consistency. although i have routines in place, i need to work more towards committing to them and doing them every day. for example, i have a great skin care routine in place but i do forget to do it every day. one thing i’ve been doing to keep better track of this is adding a habit tracker to my bullet journal, and it has helped me keep myself accountable on not only skincare but showing up for classes and keeping my room neat. one of my long term self care goals is to continue to work on coping skills for my mental health, because i’ve noticed my anxiety has gotten a little out of control and i have been recently diagnosed with ptsd.

My self care tends to revolve around my priorities. I like to work out and use my stress to my advantage. When I face setbacks I like to be vocal about how I feel and make sure to acknowledge what and how I can get back in line with my priorities. For example I got two tattoos and as much as i would love to go to the gym 24/7 I still need to make sure my tattoos are fully healed before I go all out.

In my opinion everyone has different self care strategies when it comes to stress. I like to work out others might like to curl up and read a book. One long term goal is that I’d like to put aside more time for myself. While the gym is nice being alone relaxing is also nice.

Abbie - My self care goals align with my values because if you can treat yourself right, you can pass on that energy and treat someone else that way too. Self care can go a long way, and if you have the time to take care of yourself you can try hard to take care of someone else. I always say that you should treat someone the way you would want to be treated.

Buy self-care goals align with my priorities, because I know it is very important to take care of yourself and be the best version of myself. There are still times when I can be very hard on myself and when I notice I am lacking in self-care I will remind myself that I am human and that it is okay to take a step back and breathe. A long-term self-care goal I have of mine is to reflect on my self when I wake up every morning, and fall asleep every night and remind myself how hard I am trying. I try my very best not to have things dwell on me and I’ll tell myself that I will have a good day - Veronica

Alissa- My self care goals aline with my values and priorities because in order for me to accomplish the goals I have I need to care and appreciate how far i have come and what I have already accomplished. I truly have struggled with this and i feel like taking a second to reflect on all that has happened really humbles me and makes me feel better about not only my current situation but makes me proud. Without doing that I think i wouldn’t be able to be successful and reach the goals I have set. I have come to realize that there are some strategies that work better in more stressful scenarios. I currently am going through a bunch of different situations that have cause me so much stress and one thing I do to keep myself in line is to reflect on everything and lay it all out. Doing this makes me aware of everything involved. I also make myself aware that i can overcome anything i’m facing with that mindset. A long term self care goal I have is to give myself the time in a day multiple times a week to do something I have a passion for that helps me get back on track whether it be read a part of a book, watch my comfort shows, or go out to dinner with friends
