On Friday 26th July 2024, I had the privilege of being invited by CEHURD Uganda to be a part of the Self-care day celebration that was held in the charming town of Kayunga. It was a day filled with health, happiness, and a whole lot of self-love.

The event was packed with activities that made everyone feel like a superhero of their own health. From yoga sessions that could make even the most stubborn muscles say “Namaste,” to mindfulness workshops and exhibition stalls that had everyone saying “Ommm-azing!”

But that’s not all, folks! There were also talks on nutrition, mental health, and how to maintain a healthy lifestyle without feeling like you’re stuck in a never-ending episode of “The Biggest Loser.”

July 24, or 24/7, is International Self-Care Day, symbolizing the idea that self-care happens 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. The World Health Organization defines self-care as the ability of individuals, families, and communities to promote health, prevent disease, maintain health, and cope with illness and disability with or without the support of a healthcare provider.

Overall, the Self-Care Day in Kayunga was a massive success! It reminded everyone that taking care of yourself is not just important, it’s also a lot of fun. So, let’s all raise a glass (of green smoothie, of course) to self-care and to the wonderful people of Kayunga!

Remember, folks: self-care isn’t selfish, it’s necessary!

Stay healthy, stay happy, and always remember to treat yourself with kindness and love!
