What Is Self-Care?

The definition of self-care is any action that you use to improve your health and well-being. According to the National Institute of Mental Illness, there are six elements to self-care:          

Physical

Psychological

Emotional

Spiritual

Social

Professional

Ideally, a healthy self-care strategy should include an activity that addresses each of these factors every day. That way, you can make sure that every element of your overall health and well-being is taken care of.

Self-care activities can be small- to large-scale habits, with examples ranging from packing a healthy lunch, to waking up early every day, to doing a mindfulness meditation before work.

My goal is to provide strategies, resources and tips that address these elements to self-care that you may "prosper and be in good health, even as your soul prospers!"
