Is Self-Care Just Another Productivity Hack? The Dark Side of Wellness Culture with Diane Rolston (DW308)
Is self-care just becoming another thing to achieve? Is there a dark side to the wellness culture? If you want to know the answer, then you're going to want to listen to this episode to see if self-care is just another productivity hack.
Here are some of the key takeaways:
- Understand how self-care has evolved from a simple act of relaxation to an over-optimized, productivity-driven experience that often creates more stress than relief
- Discover the "dark side of wellness culture," where self-care has become another achievement to perfect, complete with elaborate Instagram-worthy rituals and productivity hacks
- Learn that true self-care isn't about creating aesthetically pleasing moments or documenting your relaxation, but about creating genuine boundaries and moments of rest
- Explore why high achievers tend to turn self-care into another task to excel at, missing the actual point of relaxation and recharging
- Hear why self-care isn't about making yourself more productive, but about helping you feel like yourself again and honoring your basic human need for rest
- Discover practical ways to redefine self-care
- Understand that self-care is not a task to complete, but "a way of being"
- Be encouraged to ask yourself, "What do I actually need right now?" instead of following trendy wellness influencer recommendations
- Learn that you deserve to take care of yourself simply because you exist, not because you need to earn it or become more productive
