This year I’ve been delivering Free Resilience to Burnout workshops with foster and kinship carers thanks to funding from the Augusta Zadow Award.
Today, I want to share a small activity to support your wellbeing.
We often take care of others before ourselves, but our well-being matters too. This Self-Care Assessment looks at 6 areas of life – Physical, Psychological, Emotional, Spiritual, Relationships, and Workplace balance – helping you see where you’re thriving and where you might need more care.
Self care has different areas you may not have been aware of, self care is not expensive massages or supplements, its not even necessarily bubble baths & facials. It is clear consistent things that support your wellbeing, it’s a necessity we almost always neglect when taking care of others.
See the document posted below.
Take just 5–10 minutes to pause and reflect on your self-care practices.
Physical (nutrition, exercise, rest, medical care)
Psychological (reflection, stress management, creativity)
Emotional (relationships, affirmations, laughter)
Spiritual (connection, inspiration, meaning)
Relationship (quality time with loved ones, support networks)
Workplace (boundaries, breaks, rewarding tasks, support)
You rate each item from 0–3 (neglectnurture).
Use this Self-Care Assessment to notice:
What you’re already doing that supports your wellbeing (sometimes we don’t even realise it counts as self-care!)
What you might want to add or adjust in your daily routine
look for patterns—areas or domains you nurture vs. neglect, and practices you’d like to add.
Choose one small self-care action this week to support your balance and well-being.
Prioritising yourself isn’t selfish—it’s how we sustain our ability to care for others. Please feel free to find me on social media or my website when I will have dates for workshops coming soon. www.alisonintheuniverse.com.au Instagram: @alisonintheuniverse
