Rethinking Self Care | Exploring Holistic Wellness
from Outdoors Explored Hosted by Madison Ford
I have noticed that self care has morphed from investing in yourself to simple indulging, often in activities or items that are superficial or unhealthy. Indulging isn’t always bad, but it is to make you feel good in the moment instead of setting yourself up to feel cared for in the future. Choices are never just one decision, they affect every future decision without us even consciously knowing it. For example, eating an entire pizza to yourself after a hard day might just make you feel gross afterwards and even worse in the morning, often translating into other unhealthy habits like getting an energy drink because you feel tired. This type of “self care” is bullshit- a cycle of action and reaction developing habits, which can feel unbreakable. For a few healthy self care ideas, check out my blog on this topic at outdoors-explored.com.
