... it's because we throw it around like a meme.  "I need a day of self-care."  "What I wouldn't give for time to do self-care."  Seriously - self-care is not a LUXURY!  While things like bubble baths, manicures, a quiet night with wine and Netflix... those things are important and I'm here for those 1111% - that is NOT self-care.  Self-care is healing old wounds, doing things DAILY that nurture ourselves.  It is just what the term says, "self-CARE".   It means feeding our minds, caring our body and nurturing our spirit.  That should not be diminished to a "special event" - it should be part of our daily practice.
