Self-Care: Looking After Yourself

Review of our Radical Acts

We’ve covered a lot of ground over the last 8 lessons. Let’s take a breath and review how far we’ve come. Being organized, knowing what to ask – and what to ask for – really are radical acts. And they take practice.

How are you doing?

Your Patient or Care Partner Binder

Organizing your emergency and contact information isn’t something everyone does. It is a powerful act.

  • * What opportunities have you had to use the binder?
  • * What changes or upgrades have you made to your binder?
  • * What questions do you have about the binder and how to use it?

Your Care Map

Creating a map of your care environment can get messy quite quickly. That’s an indication not just of how much you are navigating, but how complex it can become.

  • * How has this tool worked for you?
  • * What changes have you made to your CareMap?
  • * What questions do you have about creating or using your Care Map?

Your Wellness Wheel

This is both a simple and powerful tool to help you see how the different areas of your life can be impacted.

  • *How balanced or wobbly is your wheel?
  • *What is one area you’d like to focus on first?
  • * What support or resources do you need? Would you like to do more planning?

Please let me know how you are doing!
