Self-care is more than a beauty regimen or an external thing you do.

International Self-Care Day is celebrated on July 24. It stresses the importance of self-care as the cornerstone of wellness. On this day, individuals throughout the world are encouraged to make self-care a part of their everyday routines and turn it into a priority.

Self- care has become very important as people realize they have to take care of themselves and prioritize their needs.

Self- care activities are very important in your daily routine or just weekly or even monthly, but everyone should have a self- care routine.

Some self- care routines include,
• Health Literacy
• Physical Activity
• Healthy Eating
• Good Hygiene
• Rational use of products

Self-Care Activities
• Write a List of what you need to get done
• Stress less
• Meditation

These self-care activities are highly recommended. It helps people perform at their best, maintains self-esteem and self-confidence, teaches resilience, gives energy and can be done in minutes.

Self-care raises confidence and helps achieve your goals. When we take care of ourselves, we can manage challenges better.

Self-care is so much more than a beauty regimen or an external thing you do.
It must start within your heart to know what you need to navigate your life. A pedicure doesn’t last but meditating everyday has eternal benefits.
