My family's favorite thing to do is be outside and riding a golf cart! Fun fact: My son's first words were golf cart! When we are in the golf cart we are normally singing and laughing so it is the best thing for all of our mental health and well-being!

I love being in the water and kayaking. I feel so relaxed and calm when I am on the water!

After reviewing the resources, I have learned that self-care is a MUST in the counseling job field. If you are not taking care of your self, how can you expect to take care of the students that you will serve?

Crucial aspect of the helping profession

Self-care is so important for everyone but especially for school counselors because of the number of problems or issues that they have to hear about every day. If you are only hearing bad things about student's lives and the bad things that happen to them, it can take you to a dark place emotionally.

Self-Care Strategies

The best strategy for my mental health is to be outside and present with my children. I love how the sun feels on my skin and when I can be with my children and have no technology. I plan on being outside, riding our golf cart, and being on the water to keep myself from feeling emotionally exhausted, burned out, etc.
