I have learned many valuable things from my MSW journey. One of the most important things is how essential and effective self-care is for social workers. We all have such selfless compassion to help others in need. I also think that social workers are determined, hard workers. I pride myself being all of these qualities but recognize that I must take time regularly for self-care and self-love to continue to do the good work I want to do. I created a self-care plan that includes daily activities to meet my physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, intellectual, and practical needs.
