Self-care is a fundamental principle of "The Wellness Way." It involves taking intentional steps to care for your physical, mental, and emotional health. Start by identifying activities that bring you joy and relaxation. This could be reading a book, taking a warm bath, or spending time in nature.

Make self-care a priority by scheduling regular "me time" into your calendar. Even small breaks throughout the day can make a difference. Practice self-compassion by being kind to yourself, especially during stressful times. Recognize that it's okay to rest and recharge.

Setting boundaries is also a form of self-care. Learn to say no to activities or commitments that drain your energy. Surround yourself with positive influences and seek support when needed. By prioritizing self-care, you can maintain a healthy balance and enhance your overall well-being.
