Self-Care as a Framework for Mental Health

Self-care goes beyond pampering oneself and includes constructing a life narrative that allows for self-awareness. It involves understanding our past, present, and future to navigate our mental health. Self-care requires taking care of basic needs like nutrition, hydration, and sleep, as well as creating a safe environment. It also involves self-reflection to assess how we engage with ourselves and the world, and to identify ways to improve our well-being. Self-care is an ongoing process that prepares us for future challenges and helps us cultivate a sense of agency and gratitude.
