Action Project
With careful guidance from first responder therapist Leeann Shaw she has guided me through the steps of finding the perfect action project, with many project choices out there I have decided to choose the one project that gives back to a department that has given me so much. Below is a DIY(Do It Yourself) paper with the listed steps that I took to create these boxes so other people can learn how to make their own if they have a high emotional home or work environment. So in order to distress a workplace that I love being in I am creating 5 Self-Care Boxes and putting one in every fire station in the Fort Lewis Mesa Fire Protection District. As the document says below A self-Care Box provides items that help distress a high emotional environment. But not without careful research on solutions to every emotion. Below is a DIY(Do It Yourself) paper with the listed steps that I took to create these boxes so other people can learn how to make their own if they have a high intense home or work environment.
My box included Slime for Anxiety and Stress, A water bead balloon for Anger and Stress, 10 steps to help calm down an anxiety attack, A method called grounding which helps with anger and panic attacks, A rice balloon for mainly anger. I also had Sweet Orange essential Oil for Sadness, Lavender for Stress, Chamomile for Anger, and Peppermint for Anxiety.
My little piece of Advice for this DIY Box is take your time, it would be pointless to stress over a box that is meant to help get rid of stress. A box like this takes time and deep research so if you start stressing out step away and come back later it will still be there when you when get back.
Refer to the below document for a step by step walk through of what to do when creating a Self-Care Box.
