Self Care Word Search
This self care word search holds forty small ways to look after yourself: sleep, a nap, a walk, a stretch, a cup of tea, a journal, a bubble bath, time to unplug and the habit of learning to say no.
The phrase started in hospitals. In the 1950s doctors used self-care for what patients could do for themselves, such as taking pills on schedule, checking their own blood sugar or keeping up their exercises, so they could leave the ward sooner and stay well at home. The poet Audre Lorde gave it a wider meaning in 1988, writing in A Burst of Light that caring for herself was self-preservation, not self-indulgence.
Sleep is the piece most people shortchange. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends 9 to 12 hours a night for children aged 6 to 12 and 8 to 10 hours for teenagers, and the body releases most of its growth hormone during deep sleep. A steady bedtime matters because the body clock sets itself by habit, which is why sleeping in late on Saturday can make Monday morning feel harder.
