International Self-Care Day is a reminder of the importance of self-care and the benefits that it can have on our lives. Self-care is a vital practice and an essential part of managing modern life. It can drastically improve mood, confidence, and attitude as well as many other quality of life essentials. Taking care of the self is one of the best ways of ensuring that we can take care of those around us as well. When we are operating at our best, this puts us in the best position to be there for other people.
