Happy International Self-Care Day !!!

Self-care is a kind of love that includes making purposeful efforts to take care of our physical, mental, and emotional health. It incorporates a variety of methods and practices that make it easier for us to stay healthy and happy. 

While most people tend to associate drinking water often, regular meditation and yoga, journaling, etc with self-care, it goes beyond these activities. Holistic self-care approach includes regular health checkups, preventative vaccinations and screenings, and more. It is significant to prioritize a holistic approach to self-care to live a healthier, happier and harmonious life. 

Implementing a Holistic Self-Care Routine:

1. Create a Schedule: It is best to specify a certain time each day or week for self-care activities ensuring a balanced routine that addresses physical, mental, and emotional well-being. For regular health checkups, it is important to create annual routine or quarterly checkup routines, depending on health conditions and age. 
   
2. Listen to Your Body and Mind: According to the body’s needs, self-care practices need to be adjusted. It is important to pay attention to what your body and mind are telling you. Adjust your self-care practices based on how you feel and what you need at any given time.
   
3. Seek Professional Help When Needed: If there’s a need to consult professionals, one should not hesitate to reach out for support. In order to prioritize your health, seeking help when needed is the most important step. Therefore, when needed, seek support from healthcare providers, therapists, and counselors for both physical and mental health. They offer valuable guidance, regular checkups, and preventative care.
   
4. Regular Health Checkups: After reaching a certain age, regular health checkups play an important role in preventing diseases and understanding the needs of your body. You should schedule annual or bi-annual checkups to monitor overall health, catch potential issues early, and keep your self-care routine on track.
   
5. Vaccinations: The world is ever-changing and so are the viruses, keep up-to-date with recommended vaccinations to protect against preventable diseases. It is essential to integrate as part of your broader self-care strategy.
   
6. Screenings: Regular screenings for conditions like high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, and cancer help detect problems before they become serious, complementing your daily self-care practices. Even for people with a family history of cancer and life-threatening diseases, it is important to prioritize and schedule screenings.
