Self-care isn't indulgence—it's essential medicine for your mental health. In our demanding world, self-care becomes a sacred ritual, allowing you to replenish, restore, and reconnect deeply with yourself. This resource provides expansive practices to nurture your mental wellbeing holistically.

• Journaling: Free-writing, gratitude journaling, or reflective writing to process emotions.
