But putting yourself first every now and then can help you refresh and reset to be even more useful to the world around you. Celebrate self-care day by treating yourself with love and respect and doing something that brings you joy. While many people believe that self-care is a luxury afforded only to those who have lots of time on their hands, life coach and author Cheryl Richardson says that interpretation is wrong. Richardson says self-care isn’t about time management, it’s about self-management — that is, using your time and energy on small things that can help improve your happiness and well being. Whether it’s treating yourself to your favorite coffee at the café near your office, or listening to your favorite song in the car, small actions can make big impacts on your mental health.
