Personal Well-being Plan

FIND A BALANCE: Stay consistent with study & protect your peace, energy, & mindset

Goals

1. I will allow myself a minimum of 1 rest day within a 7-day period to support occupational balance and implementation of self-care strategies.

2. I will engage in at least one 30-minute movement break each study day (e.g. walking, stretching, JustDance) to reset focus, reduce stress, improve attention, and move my body.

3. I will engage in social time with family and friends at least 1x per week to keep me grounded outside of school, garner support through stressful times, and remind me I cannot live in study-mode.

4. I will improve self-confidence & self-esteem in capabilities as evident through completion of validated self-assessments intermittently, to support an efficient test-taking mentality.

• Students' Confidence with Key Skills (SICKS) 

• Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE)

Implementation Plan 

• Daily

  • 30-minute movement break during studying

  • Quick reflection at the end of the day (what went well, what was hard, what I need to adjust)

• Weekly

  • 1 full rest day (no studying allowed; actual reset time)

  • 1 planned social activity

  • Weekly check-in with my tracker to see how I’m actually doing with balance

• Assessments - taken at the beginning, midpoint, and before testing to track my mindset & confidence

Barriers

1. Life stressors | work, family, finances, health, additional coursework

• Integrate set times for studying and other responsibilities, setting clear boundaries, and ensuring that stressors are either written down or addressed before entering study sessions.

2. Burnout | pushing myself too hard without implementing balance throughout

• Rest days are non-negotiable!

• Movement breaks are not optional - they are a reset!

• Weekly check-ins help monitor changes mentally and identify triggers of burnout proactively

3. Inconsistent time management | overpacked content weeks

• Integrate time blocking

• Set realistic daily goals to prevent overwhelm

• Adjust plans weekly as needed; plan does not need to be perfect
