CMHA North Bay and District joins individuals and organizations around the world on July 24th, in celebration of International Self-Care Day. The awareness day is intended to emphasize the importance of self-care and its direct impact on staying healthy and preventing or delaying an illness. Prioritizing self-care is about self-preservation, allowing you to efficiently work through problems, stress, and other difficult situations without minimizing your own needs.
Self-care is a necessity when it comes to your mental wellbeing, and it doesn’t need to take up too much of your time. If you are wondering where to start, CMHA Ontario’s 15 minutes just for you resource is filled with self-care strategies and tips. Each technique only takes 15 minutes and is designed to help boost your mental, emotional, physical, social and spiritual health.
