Join us for Self-Care Saturday
Peace Works Self-Care Exercises
Self-Care Challenge
Exercising regularly has many benefits and there are many types of exercises. St. Ignatius of Loyola understood the importance of exercise when he developed the Spiritual Exercises as a way of strengthening his prayer in order to grow his relationship with God. Another type of exercise is to practice self-care. The Center for Peacemaking Peace Works program won the President’s Challenge award and is developing virtual exercises for students. This Mission Week, we invite you to take the Self-Care Challenge and take some time think about your self-care.
Objective
Assess your self-care levels and develop strategies to improve these.
Instructions
Read the following quote: “The best thing you can do for the people you love is to take care of yourself."
Journal and reflect:
- What does this quote mean to you?
- Is there someone in your life right now whom you think does a good job of taking care of themselves? If so, what do you see them do to practice self-care?
