Self Care
The National Institute of Mental Health defines self care as "taking the time to do things that help you live well and improve both your physical health and mental health." Experts suggest that both small and large acts of self care can support mental wellness. Whether it is a spa day, reading a book, taking a walk, talking with a friend, or finding a moment to identify positive moments, taking moments to care for your body and mind can help you become your "healthiest self."
