Self-Care

What does it mean to care for yourself?

Taking care of yourself means doing things that benefit both your physical and mental well-being. Self-care can help you deal with stress, lower your risk of illness, and boost your energy levels when it comes to your mental health. Daily self-care can have a significant impact, even if it is small.

Everyone's definition of self-care is unique, so it's critical to discover what works best for you. What works best for one person may not work at all for another. It's also important to know what causes or triggers your mild symptoms and what coping mechanisms work best for you in order to better manage your mental health.

Research suggests self-care fosters resilience, living longer, promotes positive health outcomes, and becoming better equipped to manage stress.
