Which set represents a commonly cited self-care activity combination for CHWs?

• A. Watching TV, Snacking, Procrastinating
• B. Healthy Eating, Physical Activity, and Meditation
• C. Reading, Writing, Walking
• D. Napping and Socializing

Answer: (B)

Self-care for CHWs focuses on sustaining energy, emotional balance, and resilience to meet the demands of field work. The set that includes Healthy Eating, Physical Activity, and Meditation is the best answer because it combines nutrition, movement, and stress management into a practical, evidence-backed trio.

Healthy eating provides steady energy, supports immune function, and helps mood stability during long or irregular shifts. Regular physical activity boosts mood, increases stamina, and reduces risk of burnout, which is crucial when teams are on the go and clients rely on consistent presence. Meditation, or mindfulness, helps regulate stress responses, sharpens focus, and supports compassionate engagement with clients, reducing reactions to emotional strain.

Together, these three address the physical, mental, and emotional sides of well-being in a way that CHWs can realistically maintain over time, making them a commonly cited foundation for self-care. The other options mix relaxing activities or daily tasks that don’t collectively target sustained energy and resilience in the same integrated way, even though they may offer some individual benefits.
