Self-care
Easy Level
I love me!
Self-care is about looking after ourselves in many ways. How can we help our bodies stay happy? This can include simple things like getting enough sleep, eating healthy foods, and staying active by playing or exercising. It’s also about taking time to relax and do things you enjoy, like reading a book or spending time with friends.
- Take a minute now to have a think about what makes you happy and try and include these things throughout your week!
- Taking care of yourself, can be anything that makes you smile and feel better like reading a book or drawing.
- Be kind to yourself, you are awesome!
Self-care means taking care of ourselves in lots of different ways. It’s about eating healthy food, getting enough sleep, keeping our bodies clean, and staying active. But it’s also about finding ways to keep our minds happy and calm.
A US survey found that self-care routines enhanced self-confidence and happiness. It has also been found to prevent certain diseases, keeping you healthier for longer!1
Small changes CAN make a big difference – that’s what the 1% Kids’ Club is all about!
