All about Self-Care

Self-care is about meeting your basic needs so you can be physically and mentally healthy. Our nutrition, movement and sleep health all impact on our brain and mental health.

Sometimes, the term ‘self-care’ is misused to describe things you might buy – like a manicure or smoothie.

These things might be pleasant, but they don’t necessarily add up to self-care.

“You want to look after your brain and meet your basic needs to stay mentally and physically healthy.”
