Shape Up Your Self-Care Routine

A lot of mental wellness advice these days involves a bit of pampering. (Light a scented candle. Take a bubble bath.) And while those practices can help, real wellness — the kind that helps you feel grounded and empowered — tends to go much deeper.

Think of it this way: Many of us have a favorite workout that keeps our bodies strong. But what about our minds? As part of World Mental Health Day, we gathered 3 activities to help you level up your self-care habits. Use them to create a long-term routine that works for you, and come back whenever you need a refresher.
