The Importance of Self-Care in Preventing Chronic Health Problems
Stress is part of life, but before it gets to be too much, it’s time to take care of yourself. Self-care is not selfish. Focusing on what makes us feel nourished and what gives us meaning is part of easing feelings of stress and anxiety and giving us a more solid foundation, she says.

We all experience stress, it’s hardwired into our DNA; the fight or flight response is within each of us. But when we’ve been cooped up for too long, or events outside of your control way too heavily on your mind, it can all be too much. Mental stress can have serious negative effects on your physical health. That’s why it’s important to take care of yourself, especially if you take care of others or if you’re the type of empath that others lean on, you need to take a break.

1. Prioritize Sleep — Your Mood and Immune System Are Counting on It
2. Know Your Personal Signs of Stress
3. Take a Forest Bath – The Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, or “forest bathing,” simply means walking in an area with trees and deeply inhaling the air. Trees release certain chemicals, like terpenes, that have been associated with the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system, which sends your body into “chill-out” de-stress mode. 
4. Drive a Workout You’ve Never Done Before
5. Add More Fruits and Veggies to Your Day
6. Play a Game - Monopoly as an anti-stress strategy? A survey by game developer RealNetworks found that 64 percent of respondents cited game playing as a way to relax, while 53 percent play for stress relief. Although part of the appeal is playing with friends and family in person, there are also tons of virtual options, like Words With Friends, or get your friends together and choose a game from Houseparty you can play in real time.

7. Practice Positive Self-Talk

To help others you must first help yourself.
