Self Care for Advocates
becomingunapologeticallyme:
Nobody can do everything, but everyone can do something. ~Author Unknown
Most folks think of self care and think about long bubble baths and relaxing massages. Although these are definitively a part of a self care routine (if these activities actually relax you), I think there are some much tougher paradigms around self care to struggle with. I believe that...

“The notion of productivity is rooted in capitalist (and, it follows, ableist) ideas about an individual’s value. It is important that we be “productive”, not only when we are at work, but at all times. And what does it mean to be productive? When we are hard on ourselves for not being productive enough, what do we mean? We can try to define what productivity means for ourselves on an...

WHY Self-Care? →
“When access to health care is limited it is important to examine other modalities of health care outside the Western medical model.

Putting My House in Order: Some Thoughts on... →
“Talk about crunk. Bambara gives the side eye to the notion that you can attack capitalism, racism, or other systems of dominance out in the world without challenging those same systems (especially hetero-patriarchy) within one’s own relationships. That, in fact, leaving your own house “out of order” not only jeopardizes but it, in fact, undermines both your potential for good work and...

From Margin to Center: Health for Brown Bois →
“Health care providers have got to do better. Disparities in access to care are a major concern but once you are in the doctor’s office it doesn’t necessarily mean that service provision is equitable, particularly if you are are already marginalized in greater society.

Moist Heating Pad, submission from...
Ok, I was a bit skeptical of a “moist” heating pad. First, I was taught that electricity + water = bad, and second, “moist” is not a pleasant word. But a friend got it for me for Christmas, and I’m telling you, it’s absolutely fantastic! Much better than my normal heating pad.
You can buy it on Amazon for about $15 (they also make bigger ones).

Epic Self Care Post - Submission by mybrainhole
This was originally posted by youarenotyou: I think it’s too good not to share here.
Self care according to the senses:
Scent. Burn scented candles or incense. Pick some fresh flowers or herbs for your home (basil = heaven). Fry onions or garlic if it’s your thing (it’s definitely mine). If you can afford to, buy some essential oils that make you feel relaxed. You can wear them as perfume...
