How can I most effectively engage in self-care?
assistant
The most effective way to engage in self-care is to make sure you are taking time for yourself, including activities that help to nourish your body, mind and spirit. Find activities that you enjoy and that make you feel relaxed, such as reading, yoga, spending time outdoors, listening to music, meditating, journaling, or talking to a trusted friend. Invest in your wellbeing by creating a plan to meet your own needs, both physically and emotionally. Make sure to set aside regular time for self-care and stick to the plan, treating yourself like you would treat a best friend.
