Deep dives
Differentiating between real self-care and faux self-care
Real self-care is an internal process focusing on boundaries, compassion, values, and power. It is not about the external commercialized aspects, such as crystals or bubble baths, that the wellness industry often promotes as self-care. Faux self-care is the superficial external practices that distract from addressing the underlying issues. Real self-care involves personal reflection, understanding one's true values, setting boundaries, and making choices that align with those values.
