Is this self-care or am I just lazy calling it self-care? Analyze my "self-care" practices and reality-check each one: is this restorative or is this avoidance? Map what I call self-care: sleeping in, canceling plans, buying things, avoiding responsibilities, scrolling social media, watching TV, eating whatever, saying no to everything. Then expose: self-care requires intention and restoration. Self-indulgence is just doing whatever feels good with no regard for consequences. Show me where I'm actually caring for myself vs. where I'm using "self-care" as permission to avoid adulting. Reveal what I'm calling self-care that's actually: procrastination, avoidance, numbing, or regression. Give me the test: does this practice restore me or does it just feel good in the moment? Do I feel better after or worse? Include: what I'm avoiding by calling it self-care, whether I'm restoring myself or just escaping, and if self-care is helping me or helping me avoid responsibility.
