SELF-CARE AND COPING WITH STRESS
Self-Care and Coping with Stress: Pastoral Ethics and Boundaries
Self-care is essential for developing endurance to society's pressures which we cannotavoid. There is essential to tend to oneself to provide care to others effectively. They highlight that self-care is often neglected in the helping professions and can lead to burnout and compassion fatigue. They offer several suggestions for attending to oneself, both physically and emotionally, to avoid these adverse outcomes. One of the most important points addressed in the chapter is that self-care is not selfish, and thus it is essential to give care to others in a sustainable way. When we neglect our own needs, we cannot show up in the world how we want to. It can lead to negative consequences for ourselves and the people we are trying to help. The authors offer several specific suggestions for how to tend to oneself, both physically and emotionally(Kornfled,1998). They emphasize the importance of maintaining good physical health, getting enough rest, and eating healthy foods.
They also suggest taking time for leisure activities and hobbies and staying connected to a community of supportive people. One should always be kind to oneself, even if one makes mistakes of feeling unworthy. Pastoral ethics is a branch of Christian ethics that deals with the ethical issues in pastoral care. The main focus of pastoral ethics is on the ethical issues in the relationship between pastor and parishioner. Pastoral ethics and boundaries are essential for ministers and other church leaders to maintain healthy and appropriate relationships with those they serve. Leaders need to be aware of their limits and keep appropriate boundaries with those they interact with to avoid potential conflicts of interest or misuse of power.

Stress Management The Stress Emotions: Anger and Fear Anger I found it interesting that the chapter states that anger is found in all animals (higher animals that are capable of such expressions as I imagine an earthworm does not express anger) and yet offers evidence that anger is not instinctual in nature in humans (the Seville Statement).
