Self-care seems to be a concept relatively new
Growing up, caring for “self” was not something one was supposed to do
Or publicly admit, the insinuation would have been
Narcissism or self-obsession, it would not have been seen
In a positive light, certainly not something people would proudly proclaim
They were indulging in-obviously things are no longer the same..

Our lives social media-heavy and constantly wired
Leave us with less mental space than desired
To be alone with our thoughts, in tune with our needs
We spend more time looking at others’ social media feeds
The concept of self-care is to bring the focus back
On building ourselves up, not ruminating over what we lack
*
The beauty of self-care is that there is no singular way
To practice it, it can be different from day to day
The idea is to do something that nourishes you from deep inside
That you practice self-care techniques is something you can say with pride
Passion...unbridled
