How to Practice Self-Care

How to Practice Self-Care

These are a few easy ways to practice self-care. 

Firstly, What is Self-Care?

Self-care is any activity that we do deliberately in order to take care of our mental, emotional, and physical health. Although it’s a simple concept, in theory, it’s something we very often overlook. Good self-care is key to improved mood and reduced anxiety. It’s also key to a good relationship with oneself and others.

It is important because...

Without self-care, we would be simply a mess.

When you can take good care of yourself you can really show up and be present in your life. 


How you Practice self-care is completely up to you!

Whether you take a day for yourself every week or incorporate some kind of self-care practice each day it doesn’t matter. What does matter is how you feel and whether you can make your practice sustainable?

Different activities and strategies will work for different people, but have fun while you try new things out and document what really makes a difference.
