Mental Health Awareness Month
May 2023
Self Care
It is important to try our best & work hard, but it is equally important to practice self-care, so that we can continue being our best.
According to the Oxford dictionary, “self care” is the practice of taking action to preserve or improve one's own health.
There are many ways we can practice self care, as depicted in the image.
It is okay to have different types. You might prefer one over another one day or try a new one.
Can you identify your top 3 types of self care?
Are there other types you’d like to try?
Challenge: Try 2 new types this week & reflect how they worked for you.
