INSTRUCTIONS: List those activities that you engage in regularly (like every day or a week) under

incorporate as part of your ongoing maintenance self-care—pay particular attention to domains
that you have not been addressing in the past.
MIND
Current practice- When I’m close to bursting out
because of problems, I overthink the possible
outcomes.

New practice- I refresh my mind by listening to songs
and kinds of music.
- I will validate my feelings more.
EMOTIONS
Current practice- I choose not to express what I really
feel and just say “I’m fine, this will pass”
- I compare myself to others as my way of
motivating myself.
New practice- I will give myself time and feel what I
really feel, and share my emotions whenever I’m
ready.
- Less comparing, more acceptance.
SCHOOL
Current practice- When I find the tasks hard, I just
give up.
- I focus on just complying with what
is given to us students without
carrying new learnings.
New practice- I seek help and reach out to my
classmates and instructors.

information before proceeding to
assessments.
BODY

like.

with my cousins.
New practice- I will introduce myself to healthy
eating habits.
- I will start my day doing home workouts
regularly.
SPIRIT
Current practice- I let the feeling of abandonment eat
me.
- I let myself be a prisoner of my past.
New practice- I spend my leisure time with my loved
ones and have healthy communication with them.
- I will look forward to life lessons and new
opportunities.
RELATIONSHIPS
Current practice- I am afraid to cut off connections
even if they’re clearly abusing me.
- I still hold on to promises even if it’s
obvious they do not have the
intention of fulfilling them.
New practice- I tell myself that it’s okay to unfriend
and block people.
- I will stop being manipulated by
their words, and start to focus on
myself.
