Pillars of self-care and mental health

/

Our self-care practices often drop during busy or stressful times unless they are fully integrated into our daily routines.

To support making incremental improvements, we developed a worksheet describing the different pillars of self-care and mental health. The idea is to think through these areas and to note what behaviors you have automated (to some degree) - and which ones you might want to shore up to be able to more comfortably navigate stressful or busy times.

This short video shares our inspiration for the worksheet:

“The first principle of self-care is getting your physiology right so you can get your psychology right.”
— Dr. Andrew Huberman
