What is a self-care day and why are they important?
When was the last time you paused to check in with yourself and did something nourishing?

But when signals of tension from the body are ignored or left too long, it can lead to a buildup of stress, fatigue, or various health issues. It can also lead to burnout.
This is what self-care is all about: allocating regular time to refill your cup and stay on top of it. Keep reading to explore ways to get started.
