Self-Care – What it really means to take care of you!

The term “self-care” has gained traction in recent years – but what does it really mean and how does it benefit us and those we love? Put simply, self-care is taking intentional action to preserve and enhance your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

The International Self-Care Foundation (ISAF) established Self-Care Day to be observed every July 24th (7/24) to signify observing self-care, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. While this may not always be possible thanks to our busy work and home lives, it’s vital that we do not feel guilty about taking time for our physical and mental health.

The pillars function like interconnected puzzle pieces, working together to create a picture of health.
