Self Care as System Maintenance

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if the phrase “self care” doesn't resonate with you, try calling it “system maintenance” and see if that clicks. WARNING IF YOU DON’T SCHEDULE TIME FOR MAINTENANCE, YOUR EQUIPMENT WILL SCHEDULE IT FOR YOU.

A social media post reframes “self care” as “system maintenance,” followed by a warning sign saying that equipment will schedule its own maintenance if you do not. The joke compares personal burnout and forced rest to a machine breaking down, making it a relatable reaction to neglecting yourself.
