We are prone to burnout when dealing with stacks of paperwork, conflicts between students and the end of the grading period. Self-care is a way we can combat this burnout. Oddly enough, people that help other people rarely take care of themselves. I am starting a few techniques now, before I become a counselor, to make self-care a habit. The most important solution is to create an encouraging support system. I have a great network of debate coach friends throughout the state of Texas, I have amazing parents that are always supportive, and a husband that reminds me of how great I am. When I leave debate, I need to make sure I continue to reach out to new colleagues and create a support system like the one I have at my current job. Another technique is to start a self-care journal to practice gratitude. I have started journaling every day where I take about thirty seconds to write a sentence about something positive that happened or something I am grateful for on that specific day. I type this sentence on my phone, so I will have it with me at all times. I will continue these strategies as I pursue my counseling degree until it becomes second nature. ]]> 2018-10-22 13:22:21 UTC https://padlet.com/reginalwells/jenningsfallb/wish/295432629 reginalwells https://padlet.com/reginalwells/jenningsfallb/wish/295435258 This is my first journal entry ]]> 2018-10-22 13:26:33 UTC https://padlet.com/reginalwells/jenningsfallb/wish/295435258
