Self-Care Checklist | Life Coaching Exercise

Do you really look after yourself—or do you just think you do? This handy self-care assessment will tell you—and maybe give you some new ideas of what self-care looks like.

This self-care checklist raises your self-awareness, provoking thought around what you may or may not be doing—and might even give you ideas for your goal-setting.

Because sometimes it’s the obvious that escapes us, like when did you last get a dental check-up? Do you love your hairstyle? What do you have to look forward to in life? Well, it may be time for some self-care actions and homework…

This tool is for you if: 1) you’re feeling tired, stressed or overwhelmed 2) you’re curious or would like some ideas of how to take better care of yourself.

Your Self-Care Assessment and Checklist

Begin by simply scoring your self-care checklist. Then turn over to ponder what you learned, see where you could improve and finally choose up to 3 actions to increase your self-care.

Top Tips:

• If you have a high overall score on this self-care assessment, try stretching yourself with the self-care actions you choose.
• But if your score is on the lower side, make your self-care actions smaller and easier—this way you’re more likely to do them. And, as your self-care improves and you feel a little better, then it’s time to stretch yourself to bigger actions!

Because often, even when we think we’re doing well at self-care, there are a few areas that could benefit from a tweak—or even a boost!

And why not share this fun self-care assessment and checklist with friends to help inspire more people to take great care of themselves?
