International Self Care Day

Every year on July 24th, International Self Care Day promotes self-care as a vital foundation of health. It’s also a day for people around the world to prioritize self-care and make it a part of their lifestyle.

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
