Self-Care And Healthy Habits

This dynamic, interactive session introduces Everyday Self-Care, a holistic and straightforward model for achieving self-care goals. The model explores four key areas of our life – our physical surroundings, our emotions & thoughts, our lifestyle habits and our friends, family & peers. Using this philosophy, we see how the elements of each area impact how well we take care of ourselves and how our level of self-care impacts the quality of our experience in each area. Participants will learn how they may be unintentionally impairing their self-care effort, and will leave with an action plan they can apply right away to their own self-care practices.

Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to:

● Identify their most crucial self-care goal
● Identify their unique patterns of self-sabotage
● Create a list of daily practices to combat this self-sabotage pattern
● Integrate these new habits into their life
