NEW YORK - Jan. 16, 2022 - PRLog -- Breaking Taboo, a non-profit focused on education and advocacy around issues of mental health, has announced Breaking Taboo Week – its first annual campaign dedicated to promoting and educating the public about the importance of Self-Love – will take place January 24-30. The objectives of Breaking Taboo Week are to impart valuable tips for practicing Self-Love via daily self-care activities and to build an understanding of how Self-Love can contribute to mental and physical well-being. Each day throughout Breaking Taboo Week is devoted to a specific theme:

• Monday, January 24 – Mental Health Day

"When it comes right down to it, caring for ourselves is an intrinsic part of our mental, emotional, and physical health," says Breaking Taboo Founder and Director Serena Sun. "By dedicating this week to focusing on ourselves, we hope to inspire others to make practicing self-care more than just a one-time activity, and instead have it become part of their routine today and every day."

According to a Gallup survey, as many as 1 in 5 Americans have reported suffering from low self-esteem during the course of the coronavirus pandemic. Research has shown that self-love helps build resilience in the face of stress and trauma – and that self-love is a skill that can be cultivated with practice.
