St. Francois County Health Center Encourages Community Wellness with 5-Day Self-Care Challenge

Taking care of yourself does not have to be complicated or time-consuming. The St. Francois County Health Center is inviting community members to focus on simple, meaningful wellness habits through a 5-Day Self-Care Challenge designed to support mental, emotional, and personal well-being.

The challenge encourages participants to take just a few intentional moments each day to care for themselves in small but impactful ways. Each day focuses on a different area of self-care, helping individuals reset, reflect, and reconnect.

The five-day challenge includes:

• Day 1: Clean up your space for 10 minutes

• Day 2: Embrace forgiveness for a past mistake

• Day 3: Connect with people who share your beliefs

• Day 4: Create a positive affirmation related to your personal goals

• Day 5: Learn something new

According to the St. Francois County Health Center, small actions like these can play an important role in reducing stress, improving mental health, and creating healthier daily routines.

“Self-care looks different for everyone, but even small steps can have a big impact,” Health Center representatives shared. “This challenge is about making wellness approachable and reminding people that caring for themselves is an important part of overall health.”

The Health Center encourages individuals, families, and workplaces to participate together and use the challenge as a conversation starter about mental health and well-being.
