Material Detail

Self-care has come to mean many different things for different individuals. Some people rely on mud masks and spa days or wine nights and pizza, but what is self-care, and where should it be practiced? Account Manager Amy Halbmaier gives her definition of self-care and applies it to the workplace.

Often self-care is associated with self-indulgence and the idea of treating yourself to luxury—leisurely items like bath bombs or a nice dinner. However, it’s important to define self-care as an individual taking action to support their well-being and happiness in whatever way they see fit. This can show up as taking care of one’s mental health, physical health, spiritual health, and more. For some, self-care is taking prescribed medication or showing up at a scheduled therapy session, and for others it’s meditation, drinking enough water every day, or connecting with friends and family.
