Self-Care

About self-care

What is self-care?

From PsychCentral: Self-care is any activity that we do deliberately in order to take care of our mental, emotional, and physical health. Although it’s a simple concept in theory, it’s something we very often overlook. Good self-care is key to improved mood and reduced anxiety. It’s also key to a good relationship with oneself and others.

What it isn’t

Something that we dont force ourselves to do, popping bottles or molly. Self-care isn’t simply getting a mani/pedi or buying shiny new things that you love.

-considering our personal needs,

http://www.phillyvoice.com/self-care-real-deal-millennial-obsession/

What did self-care look like for the previous generation

Was the act of self-care something that was modeled for us?

How to know when you’re in need of self-care

Self-neglect

Constantly putting the needs of others above oneself

Abstaining from important mental, physical, or emotional work, ultimately for the betterment of self

How do we practice our own self-care

Take the time to identify/assess what you need

What makes you happy? What brings you joy? What brings you peace?

You have to identify where you are before you can begin the process of self-care.

Create the space necessary to take care of yourself

Put phone on ‘do not disturb’ and leave in another room

Log out of social media accounts

Say No to all the overwhelming invites that you really don't want to engage in

Saying no to others means saying YES to YOURSELF

How to practice self-care with limited resources

Go for a walk and take in the scenery

Turn off everything and engage in some deep breathing

Take hot shower and nice body scrub with essential oils (Lavender is my favorite)

If you are at work practice going on you break, many people tend to work through their lunch

Find a quiet place to read

Take some time to journal through thoughts, feelings, and ideas

MAYA ANGELOU: Well, at some point — you only are free when you realize you belong no place — you belong every place — no place at all. The price is high. The reward is great. I feel that — I really have felt almost my life that I wouldn’t live long. And now I’m doing a pretty good job, you know. But…

BILL MOYERS: You’ve lived. Prophet — somebody said a prophet is a person whose predictions have been proven wrong long after they are forgotten. Maybe that self-prophecy will prove to be forgotten.

MAYA ANGELOU: I hope. Anyway, but …

BILL MOYERS: Do you belong anywhere?

MAYA ANGELOU: I haven’t yet.

BILL MOYERS: Do you belong to anyone?

MAYA ANGELOU: More and more. I mean, I belong to myself. I’m very proud of that. I am very concerned about how I look at Maya. I like Maya very much

S2 E1 | Can we really have it all?

Introduction:
Our lives seem to be about everyone and everything else but where do our goals and dreams fit into this equation? We are Daughters, Wives, Mothers, Sisters, Friends, Business Owners, Employees, and Students. We want balance, financial stability, and fulfillment. Is it possible for us to have it all?

Questions:
• Why do we think we can’t have it all and where did this come from?
• Is it possible to have it all at one time?
• How can we find the balance?
• What does “having it all” look like?
• Does feminism lend to the idea of us wanting it all or feeling like we are living less than satisfactory lives?
◦ What is feminism

http://wgs.eku.edu/what-feminism-0 (eastern kentucky university)

“Feminism is an interdisciplinary approach to issues of equality and equity based on gender, gender expression, gender identity, sex, and sexuality as understood through social theories and political activism. Historically, feminism has evolved from the critical examination of inequality between the sexes to a more nuanced focus on the social and performative constructions of gender and sexuality.”

“Feminist theory now aims to interrogate inequalities and inequities along the intersectional lines of ability, class, gender, race, sex, and sexuality, and feminists seek to effect change in areas where these intersectionalities create power inequity. Intellectual and academic discussion of these inequities allows our students to go into the world aware of injustices and to work toward changing unhealthy dynamics in any scenario.”

◦ Does gender identity play a role in what we believe we can have?
Each woman needs to define what it means to have it all.
• What does this look like for us?

We can have it “all.” We may not be able to have it all at one time, but in the context of our existence, we can.

Quote:
“If any female feels she need anything beyond herself to legitimate and validate her existence, she is already giving away her power to be self-defining, her agency.” Bell Hooks
