When "Self-Care" is Actually Self-Negation

in feminism •  7 years ago 

Hey steemians! My last video is about FALSE forms of self-care that promote harmful feminine beauty practices rather than actual, self-accepting and self-loving behaviors. Let's get out of the capitalist mindset that self-care is about buying the right toxic products and changing our natural appearance and get into the mindset that self-care is about self-acceptance and giving ourselves the time and attention we need!

This video is geared towards women but I think the advice and ideas for self-care practices I mention would be helpful to men watching as well.

How do you practice self-care in a way that isn't about feeding consumerism?
