Illinois Woman Shares ‘Self-Care Prescription’ We All Need to Get Filled

You don't need to visit a pharmacy to get your 'mojo' back because no doctor has a prescription pad quite like what this Illinois woman shared.

What is Self-Care?

Self-care refers to an intentional and proactive practice of taking care of your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. It's you doing things that promote relaxation, rejuvenation, and stress reduction.

Self-care is crucial because it empowers us to maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle, improving our overall quality of life.

I'm intentional about self-care to manage my stress levels and hopefully prevent burnout. Improved emotional resilience is another thing I get from practicing self-care.
