International Self-Care Day was established by the INTERNATIONAL SELF-CARE FOUNDATION in 2011, to raise awareness about the importance of self-care, which is the practice of taking care of your physical, mental, and emotional health, and to encourage people to make it a regular part of their lives. The date, 24 July, was chosen to symbolise that self-care can be practiced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (24/7). Self-Care is Healthcare: Empowerment; Health Literacy; Mental Wellness; Physical Health; Mindfulness; Stress Management; Preventive Care; Holistic Health; Well-being; Lifestyle; Self-Love; Balance; Resilience; Nourishment.
