Action Care Preparations
Avoiding Burnout
There is always a lot that needs to be done before an action by everyone more involved with the coordination.
Check in with coordinators
Organizing an action is often a lot of work for all the coordinators and action planners. Remind them to take breaks, pass on tasks and look out for themselves.
Connect with your anchors
Pay attention to what you eat.
Regenerative appointments (schedule your resting time as important as your active time).
Practice preparation with different scenarios regularly.
Practice breathing exercises (they will be useful for the actions).
Check-in with yourself & with your buddy (if you have that space).
Organize your space. Clean it, structure it and leave it cozy.
Your body needs to get enough food and sleep before the action takes place.
Have a date with yourself!
Remind yourself of the intentions behind your actions.
Practices to grounding (mantras, songs, meditation).
Practice moderation for yourself (where can you be more moderate on?).
Exercise regularly (yoga, running, cycling, skating, whatever you like).
