Holistic Self-Care Activities

Self-care simply means taking care of yourself. 

Holistic self-care activities are those things that you do to take care of your entire being - mind, body, and spirit.

This concept of self-care is not an anti-Christian concept because there are several scriptures that urge us to take care of ourselves like You shall love your neighbor as you love yourself. (Mark 12:31)

Therefore engage in some of the following holistic self-care activities as a means of loving yourself so that you can also love your neighbors well.

Give yourself a manicure or a pedicure
Engage in aerobic exercises

Sing Christian praise songs

Emotional Self-Care Activities
