What Is Self-Care?

Self-care refers to the deliberate effort made to preserve or improve one's health and well-being. It encompasses an array of practices that may differ according to individual needs and preferences but often address the psychological, emotional, physical, or social dimension of well-being. Self-care activities can cover anything from eating regular, nutritious meals and scheduling regular sleep hours to indulging in hobbies, seeking social connections, pursuing relaxation techniques, prioritizing relaxation or engaging in physical exercise. In essence, self-care involves actions tailored to one's circumstances and aspirations that actively benefit and enrich your mental, emotional, and physical health.
