My biggest take away from reviewing the resources is prevention. It is incredibly important for me to be aware of the causes of burnout and compassion fatigue, and to make sure I have realistic self-care plan in place to decrease my chances of reaching those stages.

Prior to reviewing these resources, self-care felt like it was optional. I realize now that it is my professional responsibility to take care of myself. Also, my lack of self-care, can have a negative impact on the clients I serve.

One self-care strategy I will implement is exercising. I will do some form of cardio and/or strength exercise at least three times a week. I always feel and function better in other areas when I exercise on a consistent basis, but it is one of the first things that I eliminate from my life when I am overwhelmed. Additionally, I will meditate at least twice a week, using the meditations located in the Peloton app. I hope to do this during working hours, to encourage me to take a break or lunch.

This is a picture of some of the workout equipment I have set up in my garage. It has been months since I have worked out in my garage, as I typically stop working out when I am stressed or overwhelmed.

When I work late or have a stressful day, I often eat sweets and unhealthy food. As I work to prioritize my health, I plan to make healthier choices at least four times a week.
