Revolution: You can't fight for what's right by doing nothing [ The 4 Rs ]

The Friday Feels

The 4th R: Revolution (aka what this is really about) You can’t fight for what’s right by doing nothing, and you will not survive the battle if you don’t take care of your Self. Revolution is about challenging unjust systems and creating meaningful change, and it’s why all this Self-care matters in the first place. In the words of Audre Lorde: “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” Self-care isn’t just about feeling relaxed as you drift off to sleep at the end of the night (although that is really freaking nice), it’s about keeping yourself alive — and thriving — in the midst of a world that wants to keep you small. It’s about building the resilience to hold your ground when you’re challenged. Find all 4 Rs at justinesones.com/4rs Sign up for The Friday Feels email newsletter at bit.ly/thefridayfeels
