Surface-Level Self-Care Critique
- Self-care culture often promotes expensive, surface-level indulgences marketed as stress relief.
- These rituals can distract from truly addressing the root causes of stress and insecurity.
Original Meaning of Self-Care
- Self-care as a term originated as a medical and activist concept for underserved communities.
- It was about survival and community health, not self-indulgent pampering.
Address Root Causes, Not Band-Aids
- Avoid expensive self-care products that serve as Band-Aids.
- Instead, address underlying issues like budgeting, health, and community involvement for real well-being.
