How did Crafting a Sustainable Self-Care Practice develop?

The Crafting a Sustainable Self-Care Practice online course was borne out of the desire to create a comprehensive audiovisual course on understanding the impact of stress on us and practical ways to manage our personal stressors without relying on grand strategies that others may find beneficial yet do not work for our own lifestyle or budget. Though you can find online courses on managing stress to mindfulness, there was not much online that provided both a broad overview and deep dive into why self-care is useful for our health and step-by-step ways to use our existing interests and what is already working for us to create a self-care plan. While you can find an assortment of answers to specific wellness and stress management questions online and in books, the information is often scattered across the web and various tomes, making it challenging as a learning experience. We wanted to offer you a self-guided experience during which you get to know what works for you and how you can use what’s readily available - and affordable - for you to invest in your health on an ongoing basis.

What kind of information will I find in this course?

The Course is divided into 4 sections - Modules 1-8, Intermission, Modules 9-18, and Support. The Support section is a way to reach out to us with questions and/or comments about the course.

The 18 modules include Getting Started, Why the Need for Self-Care, Stress Response, Building Blocks of Your Self-Care Plan, and Personal Obstacles to Self-Care just to name a few. We make sure we set you up in this course to get grounded in your current space before going over information to expand your understanding of the relationship between our bodies and our stressors. We offer mindfulness activities throughout the course as we transition between modules or sections. The modules on creating your self-care plan prepare you to follow the blueprint to applying your self-care plan and taking action every day for a period of over a month. You’ll end the course with a plan that is applicable to you and your lifestyle.

We know our situations change and our needs also change so we designed this course to allow you to return to it as needed, depending on the changes in your life and how you’re growing. Your financial and time investment in this course has infinite return possibilities. One being, you can take care of yourself anywhere you go, no matter your age and no matter how often your stressors and interests change. This course will help you to adapt in all phases of your life.

How did you go about sourcing information for this course?

The information in this course was sourced through a multitude of ways. Angel, being a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, used her experience as a mental health therapist and her education and training in psychology and human behavior. Laura used her own experience in marketing, including her knowledge of human behavior. We also read many research in neuroscience and psychology to help us create this course from a biopsychosocial perspective, all while incorporating multi-cultural influences.
