Self care means different things to different people. In The Sage Journal, you'll find further explanations of this. Caring for yourself may seem like second nature, maybe even first, but neglecting our health is an easy trap to fall into. Both our mental and physical health need to be greatly looked after and tended to consistently. Even though it seems simple, one thing people may struggle with is how to actually care for yourself.
