I feel like this spa, massage, some person catering to me mentality (and I do like a good massage) can create, if we don’t recognize it, is a colonize and capitalized being where the only way to be alone and rest and relax and seek God, can only come from paying for a service to do so.
Someone else serving me has to occur for me to find peace.
This was so helpful to reflect upon what is needed in my own self care versus how capitalism and corporations have co-oped self care and are constantly telling me what I need for self care and how much it’s going to cost me!!! To your point I’m pro spa and travel and I want it to come from internal motivation and not externally driven.

Yes! It makes caring for ourselves a class privilege rather than the inherent right of every person.

I love spas and travel too, but now see them as the cherry on my self-care sundae!
