Self care is kind of a silly stupid term but “self” is definitely the most important part. Humans are very different so what everyone needs is going to be different as well. Lots of people need regimen and structure and goals, and for some people pushing those things drives sales and engagement metrics so those things are what gets pushed as self care.
Self care or just taking care of yourself. It can be whatever you want it to be and exactly what you describe. Sometimes it actually means being a little bit “selfish”.
Personally I’m intentional about it and it involves none of the things you describe. For me it’s blocking out part of my work week for unstructured thinking, or making time on the weekend without the usual family agenda. It sounds silly but learning to be intentional about doing nothing has helped me handle stress really well. No marketer is gonna to tell you to do that, but a therapist might.
