Many of the writers for the ‘Joy of Ageing, Esoterically’ had been raised in the era when it was generally considered that people, especially women should put others first and that to care for oneself was selfish and actively discouraged. Hence, when it was first suggested that self-care was an important element in ageing joyously, they had some difficulty accepting that it was okay to self-care, let alone to love self!

In fact they are part of our culture, to a point where the understanding of self-care is but a muddy reflection of what it actually is, but worse than that, the many benefits of self-care have been buried so deeply in that mud we don’t even know what we are missing!
