Spiritual AF Sundays #5: The Myth of ”Treat Yourself” Self Care
Sunday Jan 15, 2023
Sunday Jan 15, 2023
Storytime: Mary had been feeling exhausted. She was a mom and a successful professional in her late thirties with a demanding job, long hours, and unrelenting pressure to succeed. All of which had been taking their toll on her physical and mental well-being.
She decided it was time to give herself a break and booked an appointment for a luxurious facial. After the experience, she realized that although her facial had provided her with a brief respite from her busy life. It had done nothing to address the underlying issues, causing her stress and exhaustion.
This experience was a wake-up call for Mary, and us, singling an opportunity to rethink our approach to self-care. The truth is that materialistic forms of self-care, like facials and vacations, only provide a temporary relief.
In this episode of Spiritual AF Sundays, we'll look at how we can reframe self-care as a tool to break away from hustle culture. We'll explore different ways to take care of ourselves, individually and as part of a collective.
