Self-Care Tips for Teens and Young Adults

August 29, 2022

In order to maintain physical and mental health, self-care involves meeting your basic needs. 

Teenagers and young adults today are more stressed, anxious, depressed, and lonely than ever before - at least in the United States.

Parenting and teens benefit from self-care by dealing with life's pressures in a more positive and rewarding way.

While some self-care activities are expensive, some are free, but self-care can also involve the simplest things. Here are some important concepts that will be useful as you develop healthy self-care habits.

Physical self-care

  • Exercise: Besides keeping you physically fit, it also reduces depression and anxiety naturally.
  • Sports 
  • Spa

Mental and emotional self-care

  • Entertainment
  • Nature
  • Friends: Meet and communicate with friends; it only takes a few special friends to make a big difference in your life

Creative and spiritual self-care

  • Imagination: Try writing, drawing, or taking creative classes online or locally.
  • Learning: Checking out books from the library or online, learning how to cook new recipes, listening to podcasts, watching Ted talks online, or attending local events.
  • Spirituality: Reading scripture, meditating, attending an event, or Meetup on a topic you’re interested in.

If lifestyle changes and supplements do not resolve severe issues, other therapies and/or hormonal therapies may provide contraception for those in need and are safe and effective. If you’re concerned about your teenager’s health, call one of our offices.
