No matter how high a priority self care is for you, or how clear you are on what you want that to look like in your life, it can be very hard to know how to make it real. If you don't have enough support, it can be even harder.

Why not take time to focus on your self care, and work out what it looks like in action, in a supported way in community?

• settle into your own understanding of self care
• begin to clarify your wants and needs
• work out some ways to get what you want and need
• tackle barriers to self care
• find and access external resources
• develop your own self care plan, which you can expand over time to cover every area of
  your life.

1. One week before the first meeting, you'll receive writing prompts which will encourage you to start exploring your relationship to self care.

2. During the first call on 14th October, we will:

• clarify our own understanding of self care
• look at what we each want and need in one area of our lives, and
• work out what some ways to satisfy those wants and needs could be.

3. In the week between the first and second calls you will spend some time reflecting on your experience of self care, and on what supports you to and stops you from getting your needs met, in real time.

4. During the second call on 21st October, we will:

• review our reflections together
• support one another to tackle things that stand in the way of taking care of ourselves
• explore ways to find and access external resources, and
• put our learning down on paper in a personalised self care plan, which can be built on and amended, to meet your wants and needs as they change over time.
