Theme: “Resilience, adaptability, and thriving in adversity”

Self-care is a crucial cornerstone of health, and International Self-Care Day was established by the International Self-Care Foundation in 2011 to raise awareness about it. The celebration of International Self-Care Day on July 24 emphasizes the advantages of self-care that can be felt at any time of day or night, seven days a week, regardless of the season. The benefits of self-care, to put it another way, last a lifetime and are not limited to a single day. The International Self-Care Day simply provides a wonderful focus and a chance to publicize or reflect on self-care programs in action.

Revolving around a yearly theme, International Self-Care Day serves as a focal point and an opportunity to increase awareness of healthy living self-care programs all over the world. The concept of self-care has been around for a while, but it has recently received a lot of attention because of its emphasis on wellness. This can include anything from following a healthy diet and exercising proper cleanliness to developing disease-prevention strategies in one’s daily routine.

• Self-compassionate people have a lower risk of getting anxiety or being depressed according to studies. Self-love can also free you from the feeling that mental illness is somewhat your responsibility.
• As a result of self-love, you learn to prioritize your dreams. Having a strong sense of self-worth gives you the energy, resilience, productivity, and self-assurance you need to accomplish your goals.
• When you’re constantly berating yourself, it’s hard to have a sense of self-assurance. Negative self-talk can lead to both low self-esteem and lack of confidence. Self-love allows you to be kind to yourself when you’re feeling down, resulting in a rise in your self-confidence.

On this day, individuals throughout the world are encouraged to make self-care a part of their everyday routines and turn it into a priority. It is a milestone, and an opportunity to raise further awareness of the benefits of effective self-management of health.

Self-care has become incredibly important as people realize the need to take care of themselves and put themselves first. This has made people talk about it and increased the interest of others to take control of their health and wellness by prioritizing themselves. Today, we urge you to practice self-care, even if all you do is take a walk.
