Full Body Check-in

 

Every so often, especially at the beginning of the year, I like to do a full-body check-in.  I get so busy throughout the year spinning several plates at a time that I often forget about my own self-care.  I am improving every year by being mindful and having tools in place to help me focus.  This check-in is one of them.  I typically schedule my medical appointments for the year early on and it has been helpful to take the time to be more aware of my current state.  I may need to monitor something, for example, before bringing it to my doctor's attention.  Make sure to get specific about any concerns.  This form helps me be more aware of the positive things too. After all, you get more of what you focus on. From here, I identify the observations that need action and create a plan.  This falls into one of the categories that I call "The Positive Habit Builder" and has a file created for these docs so they are easy to access. Pro tip: create a recurring task on your calendar and add this doc to your task then store your docs in your "Positive Habit Builder" file and you can compare monthly, annually, or whatever cadence you have chosen.
