When it comes to the role of a school counselor there is a lot of stress involved. The stress factor is due to many things: work load, the emotional side of things, the daily task that get added to your duties. With all that goes on in the life of a school counselor it is very important to have a self care plan to help you escape the stresses that come along.

My Reflection on Self Care

Self care is a very important part of life, but when it comes to the "helpers" self care is a must. If you can not take care of yourself there is no way you can take care of others the way they need a school counselor to take care of them. When a school counselor is struggling in areas of life, that can lead to burnouts, and that will not be helpful to anyone including the school counselor.

Strategies

When it comes to strategies on self care there are a lot that could be done. I personally like a few different ones. I enjoy sitting on the back porch in my patio chair, of course when it is warm outside. I enjoy just being alone sometime and walking around a store, and I also really enjoy exercising. I don't really have a lot of time to workout, but when I do its my favorite stress reliever. When I sit outside usually my kids are outside with me, and I enjoy watching them play on the play set or just playing int the yard. The mall is usually my go to when I go walk around and look a different things. I don't usually buy anything, its mainly just to get away from the small town area where everyone knows you when you go to to the local Walmart.
