Self-Care Checklist
Self-care is maintenance, not reward. This checklist pulls from WHO, CDC, NIMH, APA, and the academic literature (Neff's self-compassion, Dunbar's networks, Holt-Lunstad's longevity research) rather than wellness-influencer takes. Daily, weekly, monthly items across physical, mental, emotional, social, and practical baselines, plus the warning signs that should send you to a clinician.
