- Identify one to two self-care activities that you would find relaxing for each of the following five senses. Make this your personal set of self-care activities:
- Sight: Choose something that you would watch or view (e.g., watching a sunset or seeing your children play in the yard).
- Hear: Choose an activity that incorporates sounds (e.g., listening to your favorite music or hearing the crickets at night).
- Taste: Choose a food or drink that is soothing (e.g., drinking a cup of herbal tea or your favorite smoothie); however, make sure this activity does not include something unhealthy (e.g., smoking, drinking alcohol).
- Touch: Choose a comforting physical sensation (e.g., wearing your favorite sweater or putting on a cozy pair of slippers).
- Smell: Choose an aroma that calms you (e.g., smelling a scented candle or freshly mowed grass).
- Describe how you will make time in your schedule to incorporate at least two of the above self-care activities.
- You can set aside just 15 minutes in your day; it doesn’t have to be a large commitment. Try to be specific about when you could make time for yourself.
