SUMMARY:International Self Care Day
DESCRIPTION:INTERNATIONAL SELF CARE DAY\n\n\n\nEvery year on July 24th\, International Self Care Day promotes self-care as a vital foundation of health. It’s also a day for people around the world to prioritize self-care and make it a part of their lifestyle. \n\n\n\nWhen you take care of yourself to stay well\, you are practicing self-care. Staying well includes taking care of your whole self: physically\, mentally\, and emotionally. For some\, self-care also includes taking care of themselves spiritually. So what exactly does self-care look like? It could be as simple as having some quiet time each day. Others might have coffee with a friend at least once a week. \n\n\n\nOther examples of self-care include: \n\n\n\nHaving a regular sleep routineMaintaining a healthy weightKeeping a reflective journalPracticing gratitudeGetting a massageListening to relaxing musicReading a good bookLearning to say noAsking for help when necessary\n\n\n\nThere are other areas of self-care that some focus on as well. For example\, financial self-care involves paying bills on time and putting money into savings. Monitoring time on social media and decluttering your home are included in environmental self-care. \n\n\n\nNo matter what kind of self-care one practices\, one is bound to reap benefits. Having a healthier mind and body are the two primary benefits. Other benefits of self-care include feeling less stressed and being less overwhelmed. Self-care is especially important for caregivers. It’s easy for a caregiver to pour all of their time and energy into another person. Doing so eventually takes its toll. As the saying goes\, “You can’t pour from an empty cup. Take care of yourself first.” \n\n\n\nHOW TO OBSERVE #InternationalSelfCareDay\n\n\n\nOn this day\, self-care activities are held throughout the world. Countries that have participated in the past include Australia\, Canada\, Kenya\, Mexico\, South Korea\, Tanzania\, the United States\, and Vietnam. Self-care activities include poster design competitions\, concerts\, public lectures\, and sponsored public walks.
