Ep.1/ Reframing Self-Care
TL;DR — Service is great, and you don’t need to qualify your self care.
If you’re new to saying ‘no’ or boundary setting, it’s tremendously helpful to frame your self care as being crucial… after all, you can’t help anyone if you’re not taken care of, right?
Well…
You’re not wrong.
And, there’s more to that story.
To my thinking, justifying your need to take care of yourself only so that you can ‘be of service’ is a fancy way of dressing up productivity culture into something a little fancier, a little more appealing.
The truth is that you get to take care of yourself… because you’re a person.
Period. The end.
