Action Plan for Self Care

Developing an Action Plan for Self Care

“Stress is like spice — in the right proportion it enhances the flavor of a dish. Too little produces a bland, dull meal; too much may choke you."- DONALD TUBESING


Mindfulness practice can support in the maintenance of our emotional well-being. Just the ability to stop and pay attention to how we are feeling enables us to see what needs to be taken care of in our lives.

We can create an action plan to maintain our well-being through engaging in nourishing activities.

We can also develop a safety plan for when we are feeling overwhelmed and unsafe.
