International Self-Care Day
Recognized annually on July 24, this day serves as a reminder that a little self-care each day improves our lives every day.
Self-care is the practice of taking a moment to check in with ourselves and assess our happiness and well-being. Carving a little time out of our busy day, particularly during periods of stress, can provide both physical and mental health benefits.
These tips from ComPsych GuidanceResources can help you quiet your mind and body by giving yourself the personal attention you need to be your best.
