Self-Care Synergy

This chapter began with the Japanese term Ikigai, meaning a reason for being.

1. As part of a lesson plan or activity in the classroom or with a student, ask them to describe their reason for being.

2. Draw a picture of your best day. What were sensory components (sights, smells, etc.) in the scenario? Who or what were you surrounded by? What worries or stressors did you forget all about because of how wonderful the day was? Who were the conversations, what made you smile or laugh?

3. Experience a guided meditation of Maurice and the furnace:

a. Sit somewhere where you can be quiet and free from distraction for several minutes.

b. Close your eyes and take several deep breaths.

c. Imagine Maurice. Picture all of the details of his face, his clothing, and his mannerisms.

d. Watch him begin to get upset and frustrated. Observe his body language.

e. Let him know that it is time to release the steam and cool off.

f. Picture a small valve being turned and steam releasing from Maurice’s ears.

g. Watch as he calms.

h. Take a few deep breaths.

i. Feel that same sense of calm.

j. Open your eyes.

4. Write down everything that you do for one day and reflect on how many behaviors we engage in each and every day.
