Self-care is Self-growth; connecting to the true self
Not your typical fad program off social media
Is it the new diet? The new work program? Rice water for hair?
When you think of self-care, you might think it may be about doing something that you're supposed to do, because society said it helps.
When we do things that generate a true return on investment (eg. feeling present, feeling energized, and having ENJOYMENT) perhaps then we can truly say that we are caring for ourselves. Because we are experiencing SELF-GROWTH and connected to the true self. We are not only becoming better versions of ourselves, but the version we were always meant to be when we engage in practices that enhance our development in any aspect of our lives (physical, emotional, and spiritual).
Rather than asking, "Is this what I am supposed to be doing?" ask the question "Do I love this?" and "Does this help me re-connect to my true self?"
That is true self-care. Water "the plant" and watch it grow.
