You have a wonderful heart for taking care of others, but are you taking care of yourself too? It is very common for individuals that work with trauma victims to develop Compassion fatigue. As we work with such trauma it is imperative that SELF CARE is included as part of your job/volunteering. Everyone is unique so it is important to find your best self-care so you can be the best YOU when helping others. Take some time for yourself today.
Self-Care ideas:
- Find someone to talk to or journal
- Start exercising and eating properly
- Get enough sleep
- Take some time off
- Do something fun
- Go complaint free for at least a day
- Surround yourself with healthy positive individuals
- Take time to relax and slow down
- Let go of what you cannot control
