Background

Taking care of yourself is crucial, because you have the most impact on your own health! 90% of health outcomes are determined by factors over which doctors have little or no control. Taking charge will improve your health and reduce your chance of disease.

This section encourages you to examine your behaviors and make changes that will improve your health in all aspects of health.

Overall, it is also recommended that you make your self-care practices into daily habits so they become part of your life. Remember, it takes about 30 days to turn a new behavior into a habit. Don’t forget to reward yourself! Create a list of positive self-care treats (they can be physical, emotional, spiritual or psychological) and reward yourself daily.
