Strengthening our Wholistic Wellness with Regular Self-Care – FNHA
Jul 24, 2023
International Self-Care Day falls on July 24
International Self-Care Day (July 24) is a good time to check in with ourselves about what we are doing to take care of our wholistic wellness – that is, our mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical health. Taking stock of our health and wellness habits, not just on a particular day but on an ongoing basis, can help us determine what’s working for us, or what we might want to change or adjust. As each of us is unique, self-care plans will be different for everyone.
The theme for this year’s International Self-Care Day is “resilience, adaptability, and thriving in adversity”; it is a call to action on a world-wide scale to develop resilience, which helps us manage stress and cope with negative emotions. By practising regular self-care that nurtures all aspects of ourselves — mental, spiritual, physical and emotional – we become stronger and better able to cope with the difficulties of life. In other words, we build our resilience.
