Self-Care Test

September is National Self-Care Awareness Month and to celebrate we have prepared this online Self-Care Test.

“Self-care is often neglected in our everyday lives. We all tend to put others’ needs before our own and it is crucial to remember, that we cannot fill another’s cup from our own empty vessel. While getting a massage or taking a walk are beautiful examples of taking time for our well-being, self-care can be more expansive than that. Self-care knows no boundaries. It is something that everyone, without any exclusions, can benefit from practicing on a daily basis. True self-care is not self-centered nor selfish; it is simply keeping yourself the focus of your own life. It’s about paying attention to how you feel in each moment, communicating clearly, speaking up for yourself, and saying yes or no… guilt-free.” NationalDayCalendar.com

Self-Care is one of our favorite topics here on this site. So many people suffer from stress and some of the physical, mental and emotional problems resulting from stress. Self-care can be an effective way to cope with stress, anxiety and worry. Self-care will make you feel better.
