INSIGHT

Self-Care and Systemic Inequity

  • The self-care industry often ignores systemic marginalizations and privileges affecting people's distress.
  • Taylor urges us to ask, “Is it the Self, or is it the System?” to discern where change is possible.
ADVICE

Regain Agency by Zooming In

  • Focus on what you can control in the moment rather than trying to fix systemic issues alone.
  • Simple actions like deep breaths or stretching regain agency and satisfy some needs even in distress.
ADVICE

Five-Dimension Self-Care Assessment

  • Use a holistic self-care assessment based on five dimensions: physical, energetic, mental/emotional, wisdom, and bliss.
  • This helps identify practical, diverse starting points for self-care beyond just physical or pleasure-focused acts.
