Definition:

Taking care of oneself is finding the right balance of activities that sustain a positive and healthy attitude. It is a tough balancing act between physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and other needs. It includes acceptance of the past and preparing for the future. It involves tapping into intrinsic motivation (autonomy, mastery, and purpose) to generate life energy, as well as minimizing work that is draining.
