Take care of your mental well-being with a self-care day for mental health.

Your whole being—physical, mental, emotional and spiritual—needs you to pay attention to it right now. And you need it, too. Often, we focus so much on one part of ourselves, but the other parts need just as much love and attention, too.


In raising our kids, we dedicate, love, care, time and attention to help each child grow and flourish—to give them the best chance to be their best. Similarly, we need to take care of all parts of ourselves—to give ourselves the best chance to be our best.


Your body is the home to your soul. Your mind is a channel to your highest self. Your spirit is a connection to the universe.


When it comes to self-care, mental health and well-being are clear priorities.


If you are in need of mental health support, please reach out to a family member, friend or mental health professional. Don’t hold back when you need help. And if you see someone in need of support, it’s a sign that you’re being called to help serve.

Practice It: Take a Self-Care Day for Mental Health

Take a mental health day off, and schedule one every month. On these days:

  • Don’t log on to your devices.

  • Minimize social media and email.

  • Do something you truly enjoy so you can feel restored.

  • When you wake up the next day, check in with how you feel. Do you feel more refreshed, or do you need another self-care day?
