Abstract
Prioritizing self-care requires intentionality, purpose, and creativity. Self-care is not just avoiding burnout or job dissatisfaction, it is the proactive engagement in one's professional and personal health. Working in the online environment creates challenges and blurs the lines between work hours and off hours. Unfortunately, it is common for online professors to eliminate or neglect self-care. This can lead to poor performance, job dissatisfaction, and negatively impact the student experience. This is especially challenging during this pandemic due to added responsibilities and limited "escape". A healthy, balanced self care routine can lead to productivity, efficiency, and more positive student interactions. Through storytelling, audience participation, collaboration, and take away activities, the participants will learn the B.A.S.I.C.S. of Self-Care with a plan to implement and prioritize self-care practices into their lives.
