Practicing self-care

Self-care is the practice of taking an active role in protecting one's own well-being and happiness, in particular during periods of stress. Self-care can include activities such as taking care of one's physical health, mental health, and emotional well-being.

There are many different ways to practice self-care. Some people find that spending time in nature, exercising, or listening to music helps them to relax and de-stress. Others find that reading, journaling, or talking to a therapist can help them to process their emotions and improve their mental health. And still others find that spending time with loved ones, volunteering, or doing something creative helps them to feel happy and fulfilled.
