International Self-Care Day 2025

Happy Self-Care Day! ❤️

Today is International Self-Care Day, self-care is essential for improving mental health and overall well-being. This campaign is a wonderful way to raise awareness about the benefits of managing mental and physical health effectively and to inspire people to do things that make them happy.

Examples of practicing self-care include:

🧘‍♂️ Meditation and mindfulness

🎨 Journaling, drawing or painting

🏃‍♂️ Exercising

🍃 Connecting with nature

💬 Speaking to friends and family

At CAN, we believe that self-care is a fundamental practice, especially in the workplace, so we encourage our employees to do things that make them feel better, whether that is taking frequent breaks, enjoying a walk outside, or opening up to colleagues. As part of our benefits scheme, we offer access to apps that provide mental and physical health support, such as tips on mindfulness, meditation, mood improvement, exercise, diet advice, and burnout prevention.

Last year, we invited a yoga and meditation instructor to come and lead an outdoor mindfulness sessions for our employees. It allowed us to unwind and relax during our lunch break and go back to our desks feeling refreshed, calm and ready to finish the day. The feedback that we received from the team was great and we will continue to host sessions like this in the future.

Make sure that you are practicing self-care today and all year round!
