Practicing Self-Care: Family Activity

  1. Gather the family and tell each person to make a list of healthy activities that re-energize him or her. Set a timer for three minutes while everyone writes this list of things that they already do or would like to do.
  2. Ask each family member to share his or her list.
  3. Then ask each family member to choose one activity and commit to doing it at least once in the next seven days. Ask family members how they plan to actually fit that activity into their schedule.

Note: You can do this activity in thirty minutes or so, depending on the number of people in your family.

If you have time remaining, do a speed list. Take ninety seconds and list as many activities as you can that the entire family could do together in the next month. After the time is up, see if you can schedule one of the listed activities into everybody’s calendar.
