What is ‘self-care’?
Self-care is anything you do that helps to improve your own wellbeing. It can be as simple as telling someone how you feel, doing something that relaxes you, or taking a day off work when you need a break. It’s essential in stopping stress from getting the better of you.
Self-care can be broken up into six types: emotional, physical, workplace or professional, psychological, relationship and spiritual:
Emotional self-care: being aware of your feelings and promoting positive emotions in yourself.
Physical self-care: doing things that are healthy and comforting for your body.
Psychological self-care: addressing things that could be contributing to issues such as anxiety or depression.
Relationship self-care: ensuring the relationships in your life are enriching, positive and supportive.
Spiritual self-care: recognising and drawing strength from things in life that are greater than yourself, such as your community or environment.
Workplace and professional self-care: finding a good work/life balance.
