In a meeting with Art Therapy Capstone students last night, we took some time to write down some kind self care goals. We also talked about the benefit of checking off checklists! It is such a difficult time to be in graduate school; part of my role is to make space for art-making and balance as I support their final projects.

I added my self care checklist to a page inspired by a meeting earlier that same day. It was a big planning meeting for a very large project. The reminder to start simple and grow helped us move forward without overwhelm over all the things to be done!

“What can you do to take care of yourself this week?
How can you “start simple” on something big?
What seeds are you planting for the future?”
