Your self-care results

Based on your responses, here’s how you’re doing across the four self-care action areas:
lifestyle, mindset, connection, and direction.

Remember that self-care is about progress, not perfection. You don’t need to do all of the suggested actions all the time. The simple act of recognising how you’re taking care of yourself is a big step.

  • Strength 1
  • Strength 2

Reflect on your results

Each time you complete your Self-Care Check, it’s helpful to take a moment to think about your results and dig a bit deeper into why you might be doing well in one area or needing to do more in another.

Here are some good questions to ask yourself – remember, there’s no right answer, only what’s right for you.
  • What stands out most about your results? Why do you think that is?
  • Are there any reasons behind your scores that you think make sense for your current life stage or circumstances?
  • If nothing changes, how might your current self-care habits affect you in the next few months?
  • Which area feels most important for you right now: Lifestyle, Mindset, Connection, or Direction? It’s normal for that to change as situations and events in your life change. Why is that area most important to you right now?
  • What’s something you’re already doing well that you’d like to keep up or strengthen?
  • What’s one small change that could make a big positive difference this week? Who or what might support you to make this change?

"I felt like I’d been believed for the first time... it was really refreshing to have that support from someone, especially an actual professional.

It was nice to finally feel like I wasn’t alone."
