Self-Care: Taking Care of You

By Tiffany Henline, LMFT

Self-care is not selfish! It gives the body and mind time to rest, reset, and rejuvenate. Like refueling the engine of your car, self-care helps to refuel your body and mind.

Day to Day Self-Care Options

What do you do each day for self-care? It might be helpful to evaluate your current self-care practices and choose one practice to try this week. Consider these areas of self-care:

  • 1. Movement/exercise
  • 2. Healthy eating
  • 3. Hydration
  • 4. Sleep and rest
  • 5. Healthy leisure time (hobbies, interests)
  • 6. Inner peace/spirituality
  • 7. Volunteer work/service
  • 8. Maintaining relationships
  • 9. Creativity

Find Something that Works for You

Is there something in one of these areas that you would like to add to your daily self-care plan? Maybe you would like to make an effort to drink more water today, take a walk outside, go to bed an hour earlier, or schedule a lunch date with a friend. Self-care looks different for each person. Whatever you choose, be sure to take time for self-care today.
