And not to mention, I am surrounded by amazing healers who are always stressing the importance of self-care. Over the past year, I’ve told myself that I’ve been very intentional with my self-care journey, but in reality, I haven’t.

As a young person who has the opportunity to do paid organizing work in my communities, I find myself constantly wanting to do so many things. However, there are only so many things that I can get done. I can’t bring a capitalistic view of labor to my social justice work. I have to take time for myself to rejuvenate and to make sure my daily work and stressload are manageable.

Unfortunately, I constantly work myself into a state of exhaustion before I let myself indulge in an act of self-care. Or I will use self-care as an incentive to get through a busy time in my life: Oh just work ten hours a day for the next four days, and then you can get a good night’s sleep.”
