Self-care is a term used for activities and practices that we can engage in on a regular basis to lower stress and increase our health and well-being.
Why is self-care important for me?
Self-care is necessary to show love and compassion to ourselves! Sometimes life is stressful, especially when you have food allergies, so we all need to take time to relax and reconnect every day. Self-care can also decrease anxiety and improve our mood.
How do I Know What Self-care Activity is Right for Me?
Self-care looks different for everyone. What works for your friend might not work for you! You can try out any and every self-care activity to find out what you like. Self-care can be anything, as long as it is something you are doing to make yourself happy!
When Should I Do a Self-care Activity?
Self-care is best when it becomes part of your routine. Self-care should be easy and fun, so you should do it at whatever time works for you! Maybe it is after school, before bed, or during dinner!
