In a culture where self-care is such a buzz word and such a priority, we have to understand that most of us get it wrong. Self-care does not mean self-indulging. But that’s how we often treat it. Self-care, on the contrary, is simply caring for yourself. You do this the same way you would care for a patient, or your child, or a friend. It’s about making yourself better. Indulging your every desire to try and lick your emotional wounds back to health is not only ineffective and couterproductive, but damaging and sinful.
