Wellness Self-Check

Taking care of yourself is another way to take care of your family.  

 

The following checklists feature activities that are not only beneficial, but feasible. Part assessment, part self-care plan, I hope these checklists offer you the opportunity to check in with yourself, recalibrate, and create a plan that works for you.

 

The checklist allows you to assess your current self-care routine, identifying activities you love as well as activities you want to improve on.

 

They are divided into different aspects of our wellness, each representing a different part of us that needs care. This allows you to see the areas in which we excel, and the areas that need a little more attention. 

 

Hope you enjoy these checklists and find them useful.

Directions:

  1. Complete the assessment below by rating how often you do each activity.
  2. Mark items that you love by circling the 💗 heart. Mark items that you would like to do more by circling the star.

Circle One:

😕 = Never

😏 = Sometimes
