'Self-care is not something we buy or do that exists outside of us, but rather a way of being in a relationship with ourselves.' ncolier explains how.

Conditioning teaches many women to focus attention outward and attend to relationships with other people rather than themselves.

The fact is, there’s nothing wrong with self-care or what it offers–who can argue with a lavender-infused body wrap? Products and services can replenish us for an afternoon or evening. The self-care industry is problematic, however, not just because its solutions are superficial and fleeting, but more insidiously because it strengthens the very beliefs and system that create our depletion.

The underlying message is that our well-being and wholeness rely on something and someone else, which then strengthens the disconnection and dissatisfaction we feel with ourselves; it keeps us turning away from the real relationship that needs rebuilding: the relationship with ourselves.

Unlimited revenue for Raytheon. No doubt completely unrelated to the defense secretary being a board member for Raytheon and no doubt unrelated to the bidens burisma deals in Ukraine.
