July 24th is International Self-Care Day, an annual opportunity to spotlight the value of self-care practices, and the approaches people use every day to prevent illness and maximize their health. This day was established in 2011 to raise awareness of the importance of self-care and provide people with the knowledge and ability on how to be active participants in their own wellness.
Self-care has been around considerably longer than 10 years, but the concept has gained increased attention recently with a special focus on wellness.
