Self-Care Toolkit

Holding it in. Prior to this course, my personal self-care was all of nonexistent. I held everything in.

Journaling. Journaling was always a practice that I tried to get into but before this course I never took it seriously.

How I viewed Self-Care:

process: Before This Course

Info

Following this course, I have noticed a huge shift on how I personally define self-care. Before, all it meant to me was feeling like I was doing something, but now it acts as little individual tasks that mean so much to me now.

Venting to a Friend

The two practices that I appreciated the most were first to vent to a friend who validates you. This task allowed me to familiarise myself with my own feelings by mapping out my thoughts. Another strategy that I enjoyed was making my bed in the morning. This task allowed me to feel so productive and motivated for the day ahead. It places a discipline on yourself so that it became easier to complete tasks.

Looking into the Future:

Info

My career goals consist first of me planning to attend law school. I have an urge to know the law hand for hand and use it to the best of my ability. I plan to work within the defense lawers community and will have to use self-care to make sure I have room to know who I am outside of the work field. I will prioritize little task and little things and making them into time in which I can be free and stand down from reputation.

This book, for me, highlighted portions of self-care that I never considered to be self-care. I learned so much about appreciating the little things in my life and shifting my perspective on how different tasks take weight over my day.
