Self-Care Check In

Reachout.com provides mental health services for youth in Australia. They posted a helpful article providing short self-assessment quizzes. The quizzes are not scientific instruments so take them for what they are to get you to reflect a bit. They do provide activities that you can apply to support their six types of self-care. You can also use the PERMAH pillars and your engagement of the Character Strengths as another way to reflect about how well you are taking care of yourself. 😉

The following comes directly from the article.

Self-care can be broken up into six types: emotional, physical, workplace or professional, psychological, relationship and spiritual:

• Emotional self-care: being aware of your feelings and promoting positive emotions in yourself.
• Physical self-care: doing things that are healthy and comforting for your body.
• Psychological self-care: addressing things that could be contributing to issues such as anxiety or depression.
• Relationship self-care: ensuring the relationships in your life are enriching, positive and supportive.
• Spiritual self-care: recognising and drawing strength from things in life that are greater than yourself, such as your community or environment.
• Workplace and professional self-care: finding a good work/life balance.
