To prepare:
Review the Learning Resources on self-care strategies and professional quality of life.
Return to your Stress Response Tracker and review the notes that you have logged.
Download the Body Map from the Learning Resources. Select a crayon, marker, or pencil color that represents the feelings and sensations that you noticed most frequently in your Stress Response Tracker. Using the selected color, shade in, draw shapes, or write words on the body map in the location where you typically felt the feeling or sensation.
Revisit your Self-Care Habit Tracker data, noting the self-care strategies you employed and how they connected with your stress responses.
Reflect on what you learned through intentional use of these documents and regular check-ins with yourself.
Report on the tracking of your stress responses, the completion of your body map, and the use of your self-care habit tracker. What did you notice? How did intentionally cultivating self-care habits change you personally, physically, emotionally, interpersonally, and professionally? Overall, to what extent did your body and mind improve on the days when you utilized self-care strategies? What will you utilize going forward?
