Today is International Self-Care Day, a reminder that taking care of yourself isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity.

Your well-being matters. Whether it’s setting boundaries, taking a mental health break, or attending a support group, self-care is health care, and it’s one of the most important investments you can make.

Let today be your permission to slow down, breathe deep, and care for you.
