Self-Soothing and Self-Care are the same thing. 

TRUE or FALSE

FALSE: 

• Self-care gets often used for a lot of things, even though some of them would qualify as self-soothing. While self-care is meant to sustain your mind and body in the long run, self-soothing practices are meant to be of a soothing nature in the short. As an example, eating well and working out is considered to be self-care, since your body will benefit from these changes not just at the moment itself, but also in the future with an improved health. Practices like 5 senses mindfulness help someone be more present and grounded in the moment, regulating emotions and reactions, and are considered to be self-soothing.
