Self-Care Plan and Peer-Discussion

Self-Care Plan and Discussion

Built your Self-Care Plan:

Self-Care Starter Kit describe why self-care matters, why it's important to take time to look after yourself, and how you can build a self-care plan to improve your quality of life. This kit can be one of the point that you discuss in the peer interaction.

---------------------------------------------

For the discussion part of the section, you will have to participate in a discussion forum that is posted within Blackboard. Before you proceed to Blackboard to complete the activity you will have to review the different ways you can take care of yourself physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Recognize that sometimes it is best to withdraw from the world and reflect upon your own needs, your troubles and solutions. However, other times recognize that it is best to reach out to get help, to discuss and to connect with others to find solution or share your needs. And that is what you are going to do with the peer-interaction activity within Blackboard.

Now, think about what self-care means to you and go ahead and interact with your peer. Share your experiences and discuss about what you found most beneficial from each one of the lessons. List the top three things for each of the self-care areas (physical, emotional and spiritual) that worked for you, along with why they worked for you. Then, read what your peers have shared and compare whether your choices match those written by your peers. Notice how diverse the needs among your peers are and talk to at least three of your peers to compare how your needs may differ to others.

Your peer responses should be insightful, critical, and supportive. Be sure to follow the PQW method of response:

Praise: What do you agree with or what did your peer say particularly well?

Question: What questions do you have about your peer's explanation or support?

Wish: What do you wish your peer would have added or removed or explained more? Why? What suggestions or resources can you provide to help your peer better approach the topic?
