                       •  Counteract the stress and self-defeating aspects of unhealthy giving.

                       •  Take better care of yourself while helping others.

                       •  Recognize and overcome attitudes, habits and outdated survival strategies
                          that perpetuate compassion fatigue and prevent you from implementing
                          self-care.

   Most people are better at attending to their self-care in some areas , but neglect other aspects of their life. For example, you exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet, yet are often "on the edge" financially. The quiz below can help you identify how well you take care of yourself.
