A self-care plan can help you enhance your health and wellbeing, manage your stress, and maintain professionalism as a worker with young people. Self-care is a very personal thing. All will take a different approach. It has to do with what you do at work and outside of work to maintain your overall health so that you can fulfill your personal and professional obligations.
A few different aspects of self-care that can be useful include workplace or professional, physical, psychological, emotional, spiritual, and relationships. The professional aspect includes tasks that help you perform at the professional level that is required of you on a regular basis such as supervising or collaborating with a more experienced colleague on a daily basis, reading professional journals, or organizing a peer-to-peer support network. The physical aspect includes activities that help you stay fit and safe while also providing you with enough energy to complete your job and personal obligations. The psychological aspect includes activities that make you feel clear-headed and capable of engaging intellectually with the professional problems you face at work and in your personal life. The emotional aspect includes allowing yourself to feel all of your feelings in a healthy way. The spiritual aspect involves having a sense of perspective beyond the day-to-day of life. The relationship aspect includes maintaining safe, positive relationships and ensuring that your relationships are diverse enough that you are not only related to people from your workplace.
