IT'S INTERNATIONAL "SELF-CARE" DAY! 7/24/23
HEY EVEYRONE!
TODAY IS "INTERNATIONAL SELF-CARE DAY"!! (7/24/23)
🌞 July 24 is International Self-Care Day! This annual celebration is an opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of self-care around the globe, promote self-care in your organizations or communities, and of course, take good care of yourself, as well.
💝As we acknowledge the history of self-care, we can also see what it has become: A personal practice for everyone to prioritize their minds, bodies, and spirits in the ways that serve them best
🌴The National Institute of Mental Health "defines" self-care as “Taking the time to do things that help you live well and improve both your physical and mental health".
1.) WHAT IS YOUR MOST FAVORITE WAY TO INCORPORATE "SELF-CARE" TIME?!
2.) IN WHAT OTHER WAYS DO YOU TAKE TIME TO PRIORITIZE YOURSELF AND YOUR HEALTH?!
3.) WHAT CAN YOU DO "TODAY" TO "TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF & WELLBEING"?!
1.) WHAT IS YOUR MOST FAVORITE WAY TO INCORPORATE "SELF-CARE" TIME?!... It would have to be going to the "Beach/Ocean" and just relaxing, feeling the breeze, smelling the Ocean air, and becoming one with the water....But it's honestly anything that makes me feel good in the moment.
2.) IN WHAT OTHER WAYS DO YOU TAKE TIME TO PRIORITIZE YOURSELF AND YOUR HEALTH?!... Things I like to do to take care of myself and prioritize myself, are simply doing things I enjoy and make me feel good. Journaling, Hot-baths, Listening to Music, Swimming, ZUMBA, Family time, getting away (vacations and staycations), and taking walks with my pup~
3.) WHAT CAN YOU DO "TODAY" TO "TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF & WELLBEING"?!...I've already gotten up early and got in a good AQUA Workout, meditated in the Sauna, spending time with my pup, chat with family, and resting my body.

1.) WHAT IS YOUR MOST FAVORITE WAY TO INCORPORATE "SELF-CARE" TIME?!
To be compassionate with myself, use kind words to myself and others, to make five minutes here and there to just have a cold glass of water and meditate.
2.) IN WHAT OTHER WAYS DO YOU TAKE TIME TO PRIORITIZE YOURSELF AND YOUR HEALTH?!
I set limits on screen time.
3.) WHAT CAN YOU DO "TODAY" TO "TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF & WELLBEING"?!
Today, my self care includes watching two games in the Women's World Cup Soccer!
Also having delicious Tofu, Leeks and Garlic dinner (home recipe).
Also doing my ten figure skating exercises to build core strength.
1.) WHAT IS YOUR MOST FAVORITE WAY TO INCORPORATE "SELF-CARE" TIME?!
I like to wake up a few hours before my first meeting to make sure I have time to workout, get ready, and sit with my coffee in the morning. ☕️
2.) IN WHAT OTHER WAYS DO YOU TAKE TIME TO PRIORITIZE YOURSELF AND YOUR HEALTH?!
Recently I have been trying to learn more about the polyvagal theory, which is popular here, and see if I can use it to improve my own understanding of myself and mobility with emotion.
3.) WHAT CAN YOU DO "TODAY" TO "TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF & WELLBEING"?!
It is cliché, but since we just moved into our new place (it was a very long hard day of loading and unloading everything) I will take a bath with magnesium sulfate after work. My body is feeling a little brutalized.
1) My favorite self-care techniques involve going on walks and nature, whether that's going on a walk in nature or simply sitting outside or going on a walk inside even. Bonding with cats. Loving all animals.
2) Anything involving veganism or loving animals, self, and planet, as a whole/as being all connected. Meditation, seven cups, free mental health apps, writing, reading books, free therapy groups for OCD.
3) Eat, drink water, sleep, bond with humans, bond with animals, go outside, read, and rest.
