My name is Kaycee Tillett, and I am 20 years old. I am currently pursuing my bachelor's in social work at the University of Belize. I grew up in the small village of Crooked Tree and eventually moved to the city. I enjoy engaging in activities that help me to relax and rejuvenate. I invite and urge you all to take a look at my self-care plan. and I hope it inspires you to create and adding to your own self-care plan.

The purpose of creating a self-care plan is for me to enhance my health and well-being, manage my stress and professionalism as a student social worker.

This semester has been very stressful and demanding and it has just begun. I have been feeling very tired and drained recently and that is certainly not okay. I am aware that in the social work profession as practitioners, we need to take care of our well-being to prevent burnout. I recognize that I do not have the time to participate in extensive activities, so I have set a realistic time frame and date for when I hope to participate in these activities.

I plan to start this plan on 26/09/2022 and while following this plan, I will evaluate and make changes where necessary.

I hope that this self-care plan allows me to better my overall well-being.

Before the semester started, I would usually make the time to exercise due to the fact it made me feel motivated and confident and that allowed me to have a more productive day.

During this new semester, I haven't been making no time to exercise or do any type of physical activities because I have been busy with plenty of assignments and due to the lack of exercise, I have been feeling less confident and unmotivated lately.

I am aware that I need to start to get back into working out to help me feel good about myself again. I hope to get that energy and confidence back, which I realize will help me to better engage with my clients at my internship site. I plan to exercise three days out of the week for twenty minutes.

Tuesdays: 9:00am-9:20am
Wednesdays: 9:30am-9:50am
Thursdays: 9:00am-9:20am

Before the semester started, I would ensure to make time for God by praying every morning and night before I go to bed and also go to church every Sunday. This helped me mentally, meaning I felt loved and felt as if I wasn't alone. I had the word of God to comfort me when I felt lost, confused, down and emotionally hurt, and leaning on him made me feel positive mentally and made me hopeful.

Since this new semester, I barely make time for the one that gives me life and strength. My mind is always racing, and I don't dedicate my time to praying any more. In reality, I have been feeling mentally and emotionally alone and drained since I stop seeking God.

I am aware that I need to ensure I have time for him to feel good mentally and I will do this by dedicating my time to start doing the activities I used to engage in, such as praying every day, going to church and reading the bible.

Before the semester started, I would do a "Spa Day " twice a week to help me take care of my body.

Since this new semester, I have not engaged in a spa day. I have only been washing my face (especially since I have to wake up early to go to my internship site).

I plan to do an hour and a half of spa activities at least twice a week by doing this it will help me to be confident in my body and relaxed.

Activities for that half day

Face mask

Hair mask

Hair moisture treatment

Shaving

Painting nails

Teeth whitening with charcoal toothpaste

Sundays- 1:30pm- 3:00pm

Before the semester, I usually ensure I find the time to process my emotions and vent because I was in the comfort of my home most of the times.

Since the semester has started, I have been going to my internship site, I have been bombarded with a lot of the children's traumatic stories and it has definitely affected me emotionally. I feel their pain and self- regulation, self-awareness, and self-reflection are some things I have been using mostly when I have to write my weekly reflections. Other than that, I tend to hide my feeling deep inside. A great deal to the reason for this is that I am super busy with school.

I am aware that hiding and ignoring my emotions isn't healthy and it can cause major damage to my well-being. I will improve this by writing in my journal reflecting how I feel emotionally every day after returning home from the internship site. This will help me emotionally confront these issues I have bottled up and future issues.

Mondays- 5:00pm-5:15pm

Fridays- 5:00pm-5:15pm

Before the semester, my life; finance wise was okay and manageable because I didn't have any school fees to pay so it wasn't something that I had to worry or stress about.

Since the semester has started, financial issues have definitely become a concern, due to the fact that this semester school fees have been over the roof, meaning this was the highest fees I had to pay since coming to UB. Also, I have to worry about providing for my basic needs such as feminine products. In addition to that, I have to find money for transportation and food for me to attend internship site and this has definitely added to my financial stress.

To try to take some of the stress off, I plan to dedicate time to creating a budget every week. I can guarantee this will help me to save money where I can.

Fridays: 6:30pm - 7:20pm

Before the semester, I would ensure to make time to spend with my partner and we would watch movies or series.

Since the semester has started, I barely have time to spend with my partner or do the activities we usually do. Whenever we do plan to do an activity and when the actual time comes around, I tell him I am too busy with school, and I can't. I feel emotionally and mentally exhausted due to the fact that I am worried that I am not giving him the attention he needs, and he may eventually start to feel unloved.

I need to start spending more time with him because I know he needs me, and I plan to start doing this again by making mandatory time to at least watch and episode each day and on Sunday's we can watch a movie.

Mondays- 9:00pm-10:00pm

Tuesdays- 9:00pm-10:00pm

Wednesdays- 9:00pm-10:00pm

Thursdays- 9:00pm-10:00pm

Fridays- 9:00pm-10:00pm

Sundays- 8:00pm-9:30pm

Before the semester started, I ensure that I input healthy food in my diet such as fruits, vegetables and ect.

Since the semester started, I am eating a lot of unhealthy food for example chips and biscuits to help me keep up my energy in order for me to function due to the fact that I have dual roles of being a student and intern which both requires a ton of energy. Being that I am eating junk food so much, it has caused me to have a severe break out on my face.

I am aware that eating so much junk food isn't good for my health and I need to have healthier snacks on hand because I really do need the energy. I plan to address the issue of unhealthy eating by buying some healthy snacks such as apples, cucumber, grapes, carrots and bananas. Hopefully, this will improve the condition of my skin.

I will deduct $15 for this during my budget time.

Fridays: 6:30pm-7:20pm
