Today is Self Care Day!
Self Care has become a popular topic over the last few years, and for good reason! It’s an excellent way to balance your mental and physical wellness. Taking time for self-care can help reduce stress, improve mood and boost your overall well-being.

There are many ways to practice self care. It’s important to remember that self care does not have to be expensive or luxurious. Simple, reasonable acts that fit into your life are greatly beneficial. Self care can also be doing less, and taking things off your to-do list!
It’s helpful to know the different areas where we can practice self care. Consider paying attention to your mental, physical, spiritual and emotional health.

Ways to practice self care shared from the Canadian Mental Health Association:
- Snuggling with pets
- Spending time in nature—going for walks, hikes, gardening, or just sitting outside
- Taking care of house plants
- Doing physical activity—going to the gym, yoga, swimming, walking, playing sports, etc.
- Taking medication consistently
- Meditating and journalling
- Crafting, reading, playing brain games, and being creative
- Spending time with friends and family
- Accessing mental and physical therapy
- Taking naps and prioritizing rest
