Elin Petronella on Substack: "I also have an aversion against the word: self care. It’s connoted with more doing and less caring. To give ourselves time can be the greatest act of self care there is, it doesn’t have to result in another tap on the shoulder for “so good I did my nails today”. "

I also have an aversion against the word: self care.

It’s connoted with more doing and less caring.

To give ourselves time can be the greatest act of self care there is, it doesn’t have to result in another tap on the shoulder for “so good I did my nails today”.

What I should have said is that asking for time off was the greatest act of self-care I could have made.
