July 24 Is International Self-Care Day! This is a great opportunity to adopt new habits for your personal, long-term maintenance.

Self-care looks different for everyone. It’s about taking deliberate action for your mental, emotional and physical health.

  • It might be a spa day but it can also be connecting with nature.
  • It could be setting healthy boundaries and not working overtime.
  • It might be yoga or meditation but it can also be not comparing yourself to others.
  • It might be enjoying a tasty treat but it can also be setting goals and making plans for the future.
  • It could be advance meal prep so you have ready-to-heat meals in your freezer for week or a month.
  • It could be journaling but it can also be taking regular breaks while at work (stop working through breaks and lunchtime).
  • It could be drinking more water or disconnecting from your devices.
  • It could be doing any of these things with friends and loved ones.

Looking after yourself makes you more resilient so you can enjoy life and do the things you need to do.

What action will you add to your self-care routine?
