Goal:To reflect on what you are doing for self-care and design a weekly self-care plan. Overview:Self-care is defined as “actions an individual might take in order to reach optimal physical and mental health” (GoodTherapy, 2019). Engaging in activities that you view as self-care should make you feel relaxed, rejuvenated or energized, rather than depleted, depressed, angry, or defeated. Self-care might seem selfish, however several studies show that individuals who engage in practices of self-care are more resilient and better able to cope with everyday challenges. Sometimes it is hard to find the motivation to engage in self-care, even with all of these positive benefits. Therefore, it is especially important to have a self-care plan when we are in the midst of a global pandemic, economic crisis, and renewed interest in dismantling systemic oppression. InstructionsIn your own words, what does self-care mean?
