Self-Care Questionnaire

Research shows that people who take time to recharge and restore are more creative, happier, and more successful. This questionnaire will help you identify the areas of your life that are well-tended and those that could use more time and attention. This is not meant to be a diagnostic assessment. Instead, it is a tool to help you see what you are doing to care for yourself. There are no right or wrong answers to these questions, and some of them may require a bit of thought. Take your time and answer each question to the best of your ability based on your self- care practices right now.
