How do we feel about "self-care"?
I think it should be (and will be) expunged from English.
A thought experiment- why isn't there the term "other-care"?
No. There's direct care. Direct care is difficult, logistically complicated, often laborious work.
I know. It was my mother's NYS job for 20 years to take care of full grown, actually old, TBH, adults, with the minds of developmentally disabled children.
Self-care. I think it should (and will).go back to taking care of oneself.

I'm fine with self care. Self care means preparing comfort food when you need it. It means saying "no" when necessary Distancing oneself from toxic people. Taking a break from the news when it gets too overwhelming. Shutting off devices. Pampering oneself. Resting when necessary. And on and on and on.
That's how I define it anyway.

@bernard I do a routine of things that are thebself care you're saying. And yes I avoid toxic people. I didn't used to have toxic people in my life. It took a lot of inner conflict and struggle and frankly financial resource but I achieved it.

Of course I meant to say"did have" toxic people in my life.
