Identify Self-Care Strategies that Foster Resilience

For this assignment, you will begin by writing a two-part paper. In the first part of the paper (1-2 pages), describe the relationship of self-care to resilience and include at least four examples of strategies for self-care. You may want to identify a strategy in each of the four quadrants discussed in this week's lesson—mind, body, heart, and soul. Identify at least two instructional strategies educators can use to teach self-care.

In the second part of your paper (1-2 pages), reflect on your strengths and opportunities for improving self-care. Maintain a strengths-based perspective as you reflect; describe what you already do well to practice self-care, and identify character traits that will help you follow through on your goal. For example, you may point out your willingness or interest in learning a new strategy, time-management skills, or a partner or friend who will join you in trying out or increasing your use of a strategy.

Close your paper by identifying a self-care practice you want to implement for the next few weeks. Write this as a specific goal, such as "I will take a 30-minute walk three times per week." State the strengths you bring to implementing this practice, for example, "Currently I walk once a week for about 30 minutes. I enjoy this walk and always feel grateful for this time alone." The goal you select may be something straightforward: beginning each morning with three deep breaths, going to bed by a specific time, or reducing your social media use. You may decide to try something new you have always wanted to try (e.g., meditation or joining a friend on a weekly hike).  You may extend a habit you already have in place, such as shifting sporadic journaling to daily journaling. These are just a few of the many ways you can improve self-care. You can find others by reading the resources this week and by a quick Internet search.
