Assignment: Self-Care through Reflection
Instructions
Use the Cycle of Reflective Practice in this module to frame and reflect on your current self-care routines and how they can be enhanced during advanced graduate studies. Utilize the seven pillars of self-care in the El-Ost et al. (2019) article. Write a two-page reflective journal using the following prompts:
1. Description: Describe your current self-care routine and then describe your ideal self-care routine (if time, money, etc. were not a factor).
2. Feelings: Reflect on your current feelings about your routine and your overall wellness. Are there areas of stress in your life, etc?
3. Evaluation: Evaluate what you do well in terms of self-care and where you could improve.
4. Analysis: Analyze what you would need to do to move your current self-care routine closer to your ideal routine.
5. Conclusion: Conclude with what you do well with self-care and where you need to improve (draw on SWOT from Module 1 to assist here).
6. Action Plan: List 3-5 steps you plan on taking to achieve your ideal self-care plan with a timeline for implementing these steps.
The comments should be phrased from the perspective a doctoral candidate going the process of obtaining this degree. I will attach my SWOT analysis as well.
