Self-care means taking the time to do things that help you live well and improve both your physical health and mental health.
When it comes to your mental health, self-care can help you manage stress, lower your risk of illness, and increase your energy.
Self-help can help you think about your goals with a big picture view. It encourages you to, for example, outline your short-term and long-term goals, and whether they are realistic and achievable. Self-help can also help you be more systematic in the way you approach the changes you want to see.
