Review and opinions about Viet Thanh’s essay
What is self-care? Self-care is getting more and more important nowadays. Self-care is about making a commitment to stay healthy and balanced as a regular practice of any activity that we can do to take care of and pay attention to ourselves mentally, emotionally and physically. Self-care is also psychological, social, financial, spiritual, environmental and professional. We are all humans with feelings and we know ourselves better than anyone. Today self-care is a new discipline, a new empowerment which is the process of becoming stronger and more confident. Both self-care and empowerment can improve everyday life. Audre Lorde with her book A Burst of Lightand Gloria Anzaldua with How to Tame a Wild Tongue are two feminists who wrote about the power of self-care and empowerment.
