Make A Self-Care Plan
Published
“A goal without a plan is just a wish.” – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Now that you have your self-care SMART goal, let’s create a plan for accomplishing it. For example, if your goal is to exercise for 30 minutes at least 3 times a week, how will you carve out time in your schedule? What time of day will you exercise? And what types of exercise will you do?
Unleash your inner planner today — we know you have it in you! If it helps, follow these steps:
- Grab a pen and paper.
- Write down some simple steps to make your self-care goal happen. Are there any roadblocks you need to address to help you meet your goal?
- Share your plan with a loved one (family member, friend, or close coworker). This helps you hold yourself accountable. Maybe encourage them to set a self-care goal, too.
While you don’t have to follow your plan to a T, having a roadmap can help keep you on the path forward. If you ever find yourself veering off course, you can come back to your plan, reroute yourself, and get back on track.
