How can mentors and mentees develop self-care routines?

Para mim autocuidado n?o é uma tarefa a ser marcada na lista, mas uma filosofia de vida que envolve todas as atividades. E se envolver em uma consciência ativa de minhas próprias necessidades, limites e aspira??es, e tomar medidas para garantir que eu esteja nutrindo tanto minha jornada profissional quanto meu desenvolvimento pessoal.

Self-care is the practice of taking care of your physical, mental, emotional, and social health in a proactive and intentional way. It involves identifying and meeting your own needs, setting healthy boundaries, managing stress, and engaging in activities that nourish and energize you. Self-care is not selfish or indulgent; it's essential for your wellbeing and performance, and it can help you prevent burnout, cope with challenges, and enjoy your work and life. Remember, self-care is an ongoing process that requires self-reflection and intention. By incorporating self-care into your daily routine, you can enhance your overall wellbeing and enjoy a more productive and fulfilling life.

Make it a priority to spend time with people you love and those who love you. Schedule time with people who are important to you; when you nurture relationships, they become sustainable and comforting in the long term.

Self-care is not being selfish rather its viteal investment that enhances your ability to find joy and fulfillment in both work and life..

Self-care is self-love. Self-love is the foundation of our journey. It's about appreciating and accepting who we are, flaws and all.

Mentors and mentees play crucial roles in their respective roles, and they share a common interest in personal development and growth. It is essential for both mentors and mentees to prioritize self-care in order to sustain their energy, maintain positive relationships, and fulfill their responsibilities effectively. For mentors: Prevention of Compassion Fatigue Maintaining Enthusiasm and Creativity Building Confidence as Role Models For mentees: Coping with Stress and Anxiety Developing Self-Awareness and Self-Regulation Promoting Self-Efficacy as a Learner and Professional By prioritizing self-care, mentors and mentees can ensure that they are well-equipped to support each other's growth and well-being.

Na minha perspectiva como mentora, o autocuidado é fundamental tanto para mentores quanto para mentorados por diversas raz?es cruciais. Mentores frequentemente lidam com demandas emocionais e intelectuais intensas. O autocuidado é uma ancora que fortalece nossa resiliência, permitindo que enfrentemos os desafios de forma sustentável ao longo do tempo. Já os para os mentorados, o autocuidado é um guia vital para equilibrar o critério da vida profissional e pessoal. Isso n?o apenas contribui para a saúde mental, mas também fortalece a capacidade de enfrentar desafios profissionais de forma mais eficaz.

Self-care is certainly a non-negotiable for mentors and mentees alike. Both are widely benefited by it by so many means & prioritizing it isn't just benefiting but it's a cornerstone for the resilience and growth of both mentors and mentees.

The same old analogy. In a turbulence, the pilot always ask that we put on our oxygen mask before helping the one next to us, even if they are children. If the mentor is having some personal issues, they would not be in a position to guide the mentee. For mentee, they therefore need the guidance of the mentor to help them get better in taking care of themselves. Learning from someone who's been there, done that help shorten their own learning journey.

self-care routine is all about tailoring a collection of habits and activities to suit your unique needs. But to foster it in routines one should Integrate these activities into the daily or weekly schedule using the modern tools, web or apps, this will bring consistency & in turn create the success.

Self-care routine can be simple. It can be just being on your own, enjoying the silence. It can be lighting a candle if that helps calm you down. It can be reading some self-help books, and it can even be journaling. Always start small. 5 minutes is all it takes. When you get better, you can add on more time. Do it with an accountability partner if you can find one. They help you stay on course.

Como mentora tento manter uma rotina de autocuidado,que se inicia no amanhcer com uma refelx?o, um devocional, depois realizo uma atividade física, mantenho um padr?o de pausas estratégicas na minha agenda para desopilar um pouco da rotina. Fa?o quest?o de manter minha rotina social, com amigos, família. Essas práticas me ajudam na minha própria saúde e bem-estar, mas também fortalecem a capacidade de guiar e apoiar meus mentorados de maneira mais eficaz. O autocuidado n?o é apenas uma prioridade, mas uma escolha consciente para manter um equilíbrio saudável entre minha vida profissional e pessoal.

My mentees know that I admit to them sometimes I worked too hard and get very tired. I think it is important to be authentic here. We are mentors and human and imperfect. So I always let them know if I myself stay off-course of not following my own routine. However, I remind them (and myself) if I cannot take half-a day off, or 30 mins then I will do 5 minutes of quiet time. That always help to re-calibrate oneself.

As a manager, I encourage mentors and mentees to build personalized self-care routines by: Modeling self-care behaviors. Having open discussions about well-being. Creating tailored self-care plans. Developing time management strategies. Prioritizing work-life balance. Offering self-care resources and tools. Conducting regular self-care check-ins. Celebrating self-care achievements. Promoting ongoing wellness education. Fostering a supportive culture for self-care practices. Remember, self-care is a journey; be patient as habits evolve. Our mentorship program is committed to supporting personal well-being for enhanced role effectiveness.

One of the ways I help my mentees to develop self-care routine is to ask them to put it down in their calendar. Then I will ask them to show me how their days are planned. Many times, I noticed some activities leaning more to the extreme while some are light-weight. I ask them questions why that is so and let them think through themselves what's the better way forward. I follow up after they changed it to see how the progress is. We don't plan months ahead, and as mentioned start small. We review again every 2 weeks. I act as their accountability partner.

While both mentor & mentee support each other in journey of self-care it is also important that they don't underestimate the importance of self-compassion. And should regularly allow themselves the flexibility to embrace imperfections and moments of rest or just taking few short break.
