00:28 - What is self care?
Dr Suri shares what is self care and why does it matter. He uses the analogy of a stress bucket to explain how stress impacts your emotional regulation. When your stress is high, your stress meter fills this bucket and makes it difficult for you to concentrate or be productive. You are also more likely to be irritated and get into arguments with people you care about. Self-care helps regulate this stress, which is why self care matters so much.

2:46 - Tips for self care
In this video, Dr Suri shares the differences between recreational self care and relaxation self-care.

There is often a myth that self care is going to a spa or traveling on vacation. While those things are helpful, self-care is about practicing regular relaxation exercises - activities that help you unwind and relax. Self care is a lifestyle that promotes healthy stress and anxiety management and enhances self love.

Self care is needed for your mental health and well-being. It involves engaging in activities that leave you with more energy rather than deplete your energy. That's why, in this video, Dr Suri shares 4 self-care tips that actually work.

He describes how moments of stillness, such as meditation or mindfulness breathing exercises, can help bring relaxation. Connecting with someone helps you feel connected and loved, satisfying your need for belongingness. Light physical activity helps release endorphins and counteract stress hormones. Having personal "me" time helps with self reflection and self-love. These 4 self help exercises improve your mental health by regulating your stress effectively.
