The Self-Care Wheel Explained + Subscription Boxes for Putting it Into Action

Updated by Meredith Raico

With lots of people realizing the necessity of me-time and focusing on the self-care wheel to try to achieve balance in their busy lives, now is the perfect time to get a little help on that front with monthly subscription boxes that deliver tools to promote everyday wellbeing.

So, What is the Self-Care Wheel?

The self-care wheel is broken into six parts, each representing a vital aspect of everyday life that requires dedicated attention to manage stress and achieve happiness. The 6 parts of the self-care wheel are: personal, psychological, physical, spiritual, emotional, and professional. By practicing self-care within each of these aspects, we are able to create balance, meaning, and contentment in our lives.

We’ve curated a special list of the best subscription boxes that help direct your attention to one or more of the self-care wheel activities. Each of these unique boxes is thoughtfully curated to directly address these areas of life, and have a positive impact on finding that crucial balance.
