Imagine this.
The year is 2020. A flu virus, the deadliest in history, by the name of coronavirus (COVID-19) has infected and wiped out 99.9 percent of the world population.
At the same time, aliens decide to pay our planet a visit. At arrival, they find the streets strangely quiet, shops, restaurants, cafes, and stores shut down. As they make their way from one house to the next, the aliens discover bodies after bodies. What’s more strange is the piles of items, labeled toilet paper, they discover in every house.

I’m very indulgent when it comes to self-care. I, too, love spending $7 on Starbucks latte to treat myself, although I cannot get into meditation to save my life.
As I admitted in a previous post, 4 radical digital detox ideas, I am obsessed with radical ideas and prefer the unconventional approach when it comes to practicing self-care.
Below are 10 radical self-care ideas I practice and find to be the most useful, in no particular order of importance.
2. Do not do things that leave you feeling bitter.
For instance, don’t hang around people that leave you feeling bitter, whether it’s because they drain you of your energy, or it’s because you envy them.
Ask yourself, do I feel energized and motivated, or exhausted and bitter, after spending time with this person?
3. Quit your job if it’s draining you.
NO ONE ever said, ‘I wish I stayed at that job that was making me extremely miserable.‘
Like, ever.
4. Give a damn about giving a damn.
The world is full of cynical, lazy assholes.
It’s cowardly.
Instead, stand for something. Believe in something.
Then, do awesome things that make the suffering worth it.
8. Give in.
Sometimes, the only thing left to do it to give in to the feeling(s). Take a day, a week, or a month off. Contemplate life. Have multiple existential crises. Cry hysterically. Then, laugh hysterically ’cause life is so bizarre.
Start over.
9. “Invent your life over if it doesn’t feel juicy.”
