Behaviors that we learned growing up often become habitual and define our comfort zone—even if they are unsatisfying and don’t have desirable outcomes. Pro-active Self-Care involves a re-examination of our activities to determine what is working well for us and where we need adjustments to improve our life experience.

 When you don’t examine and make active decisions regarding how you spend your time and efforts, you are subject to circumstances. Proactive Self-Care involves recognizing your talents, doing meaningful things, and spending your time productively and compassionately.
