For most men, self-care isn't candles and spa days. It's the basic upkeep that keeps you strong, healthy, and comfortable: moving your body, sleeping well, keeping up with checkups, eating reasonably, and feeling settled in your own skin and clothes. Practical, not precious.

• Move every day, even just a walk.
• Book the checkups you keep putting off.
• Guard your sleep and manage stress.
• Stay connected to people and keep a hobby.

How does comfort count as self-care?
