How to use self-care planning to improve your emotional wellbeing, even when you don’t think you need it

Self-care is often the first thing that gets sacrificed when life is busy and stressful, but that’s when it’s most important.

This article leads you to the Black Dog Institute’s Self-Care Plan, which is a four-step plan that guides you to manage your emotions during periods of high stress.

It can be used as a starting point to manage symptoms of burnout by helping you evaluate your coping skills, identify your daily self-care needs and replace negative coping strategies with positive alternatives.
