Self-Care Plan: Eliminate, Modify, Add
Here is a quick, simple strategy to use when creating a self-care (self-love) plan to modify your behavior to improve your health and well-being:1. Grab a sheet of paper and draw three columns. Label them, "Eliminate," "Modify," and "Add."
2. In the "Eliminate" column write the behaviors you are committing to stopping completely.
3. In the "Modify" column list the behaviors you will modify, and state specifically how you intend to adjust them.
4. In the "Add" column prescribe yourself some behaviors that will nourish your mind, body, and spirit!
Here is an example:
ELIMINATE
|
MODIFY
|
ADD
|
Delete Facebook, Instagram, or other time-sucking and mind-numbing apps on my phone
|
No electronics at least one hour before bed. Be in bed by 10:00 PM every night
|
Call a family member each week to catch up
|
Night time snacking
|
Kitchen closed after 7:00 PM
|
Exercise 3-4 times each week
Spend time outside in nature every day (lake, walking, hiking, biking, etc)
|
Sugar and caffeine for at least 21 days
|
Make plans with a non-toxic friend at least once a week
|
Drink fresh green juice four times a week
|
Complaining/worrying about money and things out of my control
|
Commit to a cash-only budget of $100 each week for non-essential spending
|
Write in my gratitude journal every night before bed
|
I would love to hear your feedback if you create a plan!
