SELF-CARE

WHAT IS SELF-CARE?

Self-care is anything you enjoy doing that helps make you happy and maintains your physical, mental or emotional health. Self-care is necessary for your well-being and should always leave you feeling revitalized.



When is the last time you did absolutely nothing for 10 whole minutes? Not texting, talking or even thinking? Mindfulness expert, and founder of Headspace, Andy Puddicombe describes the transformative power of doing just that.



We'll go to the doctor when we feel flu-ish or a nagging pain. So why don’t we see a health professional when we feel emotional pain: guilt, loss, loneliness? Too many of us deal with common psychological-health issues on our own, says Guy Winch. But we don’t have to. 

BUILDING HEALTHY HABITS


Because we hang out with our own bodies and minds all the time, we tend to take them for granted and forget how amazing they are.

Eating a healthy, balanced diet; getting enough sleep; being physically active; being social -- taking care of these basics helps us be as physically and, in turn, mentally healthy.
