What is self-care?<\/h2>\n

Self-Care is the collective set of practices that you engage in to make sure that you\u2019re happy and healthy. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines it as \u201cthe ability of individuals, families, and communities to promote health, prevent disease, maintain health, and cope with illness and disability with or without the support of a health worker.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the common understanding of self-care is somewhat less clinical. Self-care is a form of self-love that helps us maintain both physical and mental fitness. While the WHO\u2019s definition of self-care is prescriptive, self-care is additive. It\u2019s the practices that make us feel good \u2014 about ourselves, our futures, and our lives.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are seven major types of self care;<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Physical Self-Care<\/h2>\n

Physical self\u00a0describes how an individual views his health condition, body, and physical appearance.<\/p>\n

Physical self-care includes fueling your body, getting adequate sleep, participating in physical activities, and taking care of your physical needs. Making sure you\u2019re attending medical appointments and taking medications as prescribed are also part of physical self-care.<\/p>\n
