Practicing self-care on a daily basis is essential to our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It is so important that one psychologist opines, “Self-care is one’s action is around our physical, emotional, relational, perhaps professional, educational, and, for some people, spiritual well-being that reflects the way that we take care of ourselves on the most fundamental levels.” Through research, I have developed a daily self-care guide below that involves practicing some self-care activity each day.
