SELF-CARE
Self-care means taking the time to do things that help you live well
and improve both your physical health and mental health. When it comes
to your mental health, self-care can help you manage stress, lower your
risk of illness, and increase your energy. Even small acts of self-care
in your daily life can have a big impact.

TYPES OF
SELF-CARE
“It could be anything that floats your boat — anything that puts a
smile on your face,” Dr. Gill Lopez says. “Anything that makes you
feel cared for, even if it’s you caring for yourself.”
There are a few different categories of self-care:
Emotional self-care, such as self-talk, weekly bubble baths, saying
“no” to things that cause unnecessary stress, giving yourself
permission to take a pause, or setting up a weekly coffee date with
a friend.
Physical self-care, such as prioritizing sleep, adopting an exercise
routine you can stick with, or choosing healthy and nourishing foods
over highly processed ones.
Spiritual self-care, such as attending a religious service, spending
time in nature, meditating, incorporating regular acts of kindness
into your day, or keeping a gratitude journal.
