The self-care and rest challenge contains 20 simple yet impactful self-care activities designed to promote relaxation, mindfulness, and well-being. Each activity encourages practices such as unplugging from devices, journaling, meditation, deep breathing, and gratitude reflection. Other activities focus on physical self-care, like stretching, hydrating, getting enough sleep, and taking a power nap.
