After reviewing the wealth of information on self-care, the most profound part of the reading was about practicing personal reflection because we must make it an integral part of our personal and professional lives, it is all about seeking out ways to continuously develop our own areas for growth. Self-Awareness is at the heart of counseling.

Importance of Self-Care

How can we care for others if we cannot care for ourselves? Setting healthy boundaries and maintaining a well balanced lifestyle is critical to self-care. In my mind, by improving my own self-care habits I will be ready and present to face the daily challenges I will face as a professional school counselor.

Personal Self-Care Strategies

There is a heavy reliance on what we can do to help ourselves and prevent burnout. Part of that comes from a willingness to take care of yourself in order to be a better "YOU" for others. As I progress into this term, I will make sure to get in exercise at minimum three times a week. I also plan to spend quiet time whether it be outside walking my pups or in a place of worship. Most of all, I will continue to be there for my family. Even if its commiting 30-45 minutes a day. This will prevent myself from feeling like I am disconnected from my home unit, which is most important.
