Regular exercise can also be beneficial to mental and physical health. Other types of self-care may include art therapy, journaling, walking or hiking in nature, meditation, mindfulness practices, and spending time with friends and family. It is important that those in recovery create an individualized self-care plan that works for them and their lifestyle.
