Building a Self-Care Routine
Create sustainable self-care habits that fit your lifestyle and actually work.
What is Self-Care?
Self-care is the practice of taking action to preserve or improve your own health and wellbeing. It's not selfish—it's essential for maintaining your physical, mental, and emotional health.
Physical Self-Care
Regular exercise, adequate sleep (7-9 hours), nutritious eating, staying hydrated, regular medical check-ups, and taking breaks when needed are fundamental physical self-care practices.
Mental & Emotional Self-Care
Practice mindfulness, engage in hobbies you enjoy, set boundaries, practice saying no, journal your thoughts, seek therapy when needed, and surround yourself with supportive people.
Creating Your Routine
Start small with 5-10 minutes daily. Choose activities you genuinely enjoy. Schedule self-care like any other important appointment. Be flexible and adjust as needed. Remember, consistency matters more than perfection.
