Description
OVERVIEW
For this assignment, you will evaluate your life situation and develop a plan of personal health to
maintain self-care. The assignment submission will include a current APA cover page, the
Ecomap graphic, a 3-page reflection paper and the SMART Form.
INSTRUCTIONS
Ecomaps are useful tools to help map out, visualize, and better understand connections. You are
to develop an Ecomap graphic reflecting the following information. List at least five people with
whom you feel most connected. List the person’s name and the common connection(s) between
you and this person. Draw an arrow from your name to each person. The thickness of that arrow
will reflect the strength of the relationship. Consider your relationship with each person and
discuss it in the narrative. Does your interaction with this person improve your self-care plan
through relief of anxiety, stress, and the burdens of life? Or does this person or interaction
increase stress? Consider ways the connection with each person could improve your self-care?
Likewise, in the Ecomap graphic list all the places you go throughout a typical week, such as
school, work, the homes of family and friends, businesses, restaurants, health spas, 12-Step
meetings, spiritual places, and so forth. Beside each place, note the reason(s) you go to this
place. Then, examine whether this place aids in or detracts from your self-care. How can you
increase your connection with the places that support your wellness and limit the places that do
not?
You will use the Ecomap Template to develop your graph. You will write a 3-page paper in
APA style reflecting your findings from the development of the Ecomap.
For this assignment, you will reference the Learn items: Explore: Developing a Self-Care Plan
and Read: Wellbeing and Self-Care to develop a personal Self-Care Plan chart using the
SMART Form provided under the Resources section on the assignment page. You must address
the physical, psychological, social, professional/academic, and spiritual dimensions in your care
plan. Specific goals/objectives (more than 1 per category) and accountability measures must be
noted using the SMART format. (SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-
bound.
