July 24 is International Self-Care Day, and a great reminder to make mental well-being part of your daily routine.

Self-care can be *seemingly* small things that actually help you show up for yourself. Like closing your day with intention, doing a daily mood check-in or taking a curiosity break to recharge your brain.

Today, we're sharing five fresh mental-health–focused self-care tips that are practical and realistic. Check the comments for the link!

What's one simple self-care strategy you've incorporated into your day that's made a difference for you?

Your mind deserves rest—not as a reward for breaking down, but as part of staying well.
You don’t need to hit empty before you take a break.

Listen to your energy. Pause when you’re running low, not running out. Protect your mental health. 💛
