WHAT IS RADICAL SELF-CARE?

Radical self-care is recognizing your internalized biases and its negative influences on you. It’s about focusing on your own importance over the values of a capitalist society. It’s the act of resting up in order to take further action on social justice for all.

RETHINK SELF-CARE

Who’s profiting from your latest “splurge”? Is the social media feed that you seek escape in diverse enough? Self-care has become yet another excuse for businesses to make profits without responsibility. It’s time to take self-care into your own hands.

PRACTICE SELF-LOVE

Society constantly demands perfectionism from you. But you don’t have to measure your worth by your productivity. You can love yourself by accepting all parts of yourself that society rejects. Self-care is especially a radical act for marginalized people.

MOVE TOWARDS COLLECTIVE CARE

You can only be free from a prejudiced, capitalist society if you fight to ensure that everyone is free from its oppression. Take breaks when you need to. Then come back stronger than ever to fight against the unjust system that imprisons us all.
