International Self Care Day

When you take care of yourself to stay well, you are practicing self-care. Staying well includes taking care of your whole self: physically, mentally, and emotionally. For some, self-care also includes taking care of themselves spiritually. So what exactly does self-care look like? It could be as simple as having some quiet time each day. Others might have coffee with a friend at least once a week.

Other examples of self-care include:

• Having a regular sleep routine

• Maintaining a healthy weight

• Keeping a reflective journal

• Practicing gratitude

• Getting a massage

• Listening to relaxing music

• Reading a good book

• Learning to say no

• Asking for help when necessary
