Self-care is rooted in the idea of taking time for oneself, engaging in activities that promote relaxation and nurturing our overall health.

自我保健的理念源於為自己留出時間，參與促進放鬆的活動，培養我們的整體健康。

While self-care can be a valuable tool in maintaining mental wellness, it is crucial to recognize that not all self-care trends are created equal.

雖然自我保健是保持心理健康的重要工具，但必須認識到，並非所有的自我保健趨勢都是一樣的。

Because self-care is a deeply personal journey and what works for one person may not work for another, it's essential to approach it with a critical eye to ensure that your self-care practices align with your values and contribute positively to your mental health and overall well-being.

由於自我保健是一個深刻的個人歷程，對一個人有效的方法對另一個人可能無效，是以必須以批判的眼光來對待它，以確保你的自我保健做法符合你的價值觀，並對你的心理健康和整體福祉做出積極貢獻。

With that said, let's explore some self-care trends that, despite their popularity, can actually have detrimental effects on your mental health, according to experts.

專家指出，儘管自我保健很流行，但實際上會對心理健康產生不利影響。

Toxic Positivity According to psychologist Dr. Rachel Goldman, promoting too much positivity can become toxic when it shames and guilts us for our authentic human emotions and struggles in favor of maintaining a positive mindset at all times.

有毒的積極性 心理學家雷切爾-戈德曼博士認為，如果我們因為自己真實的情感和掙扎而感到羞愧和內疚，而不是始終保持積極的心態，那麼過多地宣揚積極性就會變得有毒。

While optimism can be helpful, suppressing or invalidating genuine feelings can be harmful to our mental health.

樂觀固然有幫助，但壓抑或否定真實的感受會對我們的心理健康造成傷害。

True self-care involves acknowledging and accepting the full range of our emotions rather than denying or masking them, says Dr. Goldman.

戈德曼博士說，真正的自我保健包括承認和接受我們的全部情緒，而不是否認或掩蓋它們。

Self-indulgence Some self-care trends advocate indulging in excessive self-centeredness as a means of prioritizing oneself.

自我放縱 一些自我保健趨勢主張過度放縱自我，以此作為優先考慮自己的一種手段。

An article published by Thoughtful Counseling Services emphasizes that it's important to distinguish between self-care and self-indulgence and to strike a healthy balance between the two.

Thoughtful Counseling Services 發表的一篇文章強調，重要的是要區分自我保健和自我放縱，並在兩者之間取得健康的平衡。

Excessively focusing on one's own desires can actually hinder personal growth by making us more self-centered, less disciplined, hedonistic and discontented, all of which are ultimately detrimental to our mental health.

過度關注自己的慾望實際上會阻礙個人成長，使我們更加以自我為中心、缺乏自律、享樂主義和不滿情緒，所有這些最終都會損害我們的心理健康。

Bed Rotting With the rise of social media and streaming platforms, a self-care trend known as bed rotting has emerged.

爛床 隨著社交媒體和流媒體平臺的興起，出現了一種被稱為 "爛床 "的自我保健趨勢。

Bed rotting refers to spending excessive amounts of time in bed, often ignoring responsibilities and daily activities in favor of prolonged periods of relaxation or entertainment.

賴床指的是在床上躺的時間過長，常常忽略責任和日常活動，而長時間放鬆或娛樂。

Psychologist Dr. Audrey Tang explains that extended periods of bed rotting can lead to decreased motivation, productivity and a feeling of stagnation.

心理學家 Audrey Tang 博士解釋說，長期賴床會導致積極性和工作效率下降，產生停滯不前的感覺。

So it's important to strike a balance between rest and engaging in activities that contribute to personal growth, fulfillment and a sense of purpose.

是以，必須在休息和參與有助於個人成長、成就感和使命感的活動之間取得平衡。

Dopamine Detox Another recent self-care trend is the dopamine detox, which involves deliberately abstaining from pleasurable activities such as socializing, hobbies or using electronic devices in an attempt to reset the brain's reward system.

多巴胺排毒療法 多巴胺排毒療法是最近興起的另一種自我保健趨勢，它是指故意放棄社交、業餘愛好或使用電子設備等令人愉悅的活動，試圖重置大腦的獎賞系統。

Supporters of this trend claim that by depriving oneself of enjoyable experiences, the brain will become more sensitive to pleasure, resulting in a greater sense of fulfillment.

這種趨勢的支持者聲稱，通過剝奪自己的快樂體驗，大腦會變得對快樂更加敏感，從而產生更強的成就感。

But this approach can be counterproductive and potentially harmful to mental health when done excessively or incorrectly.

但這種方法如果過度或不正確，可能會適得其反，對心理健康造成潛在危害。

Warns Psychiatrist Dr. Ifeanyi Olele, as withdrawal often leads to feelings of loneliness, boredom and a deterioration of mental well-being.

精神病學家 Ifeanyi Olele 博士警告說，戒斷往往會導致孤獨感、無聊感和心理健康的惡化。

So instead of completely avoiding pleasurable activities, it's important to find a healthy balance that allows for enjoyment through beneficial alternatives such as exercise and meditation.

是以，與其完全避免快樂的活動，不如找到一個健康的平衡點，通過運動和冥想等有益的替代方式來享受快樂。

Over-reliance on self-help According to an article published by MentalHelp.net, an excessive consumption of self-help content can lead to information overload, unrealistic expectations and an obsession with constantly fixing oneself.

過度依賴自助 根據 MentalHelp.net 發表的一篇文章，過度消費自助內容會導致資訊超載、不切實際的期望以及痴迷於不斷自我修復。

Self-care trends that rely heavily on purchasing material possessions or indulging in lavish experiences can also create a false, temporary sense of well-being.

嚴重依賴購買物質財富或沉溺於奢華體驗的自我保健趨勢也會造成一種虛假的、暫時的幸福感。

So, it's essential to prioritize practices that encourage self-reflection, self-compassion and self-acceptance, rather than relying solely on external remedies.

是以，必須優先考慮鼓勵自我反思、自我同情和自我接納的做法，而不是僅僅依賴外部補救措施。

It's crucial to approach self-care practices critically and consider their potential impact on mental health.

關鍵是要以批判的眼光對待自我保健做法，並考慮它們對心理健康的潛在影響。

Because while some trends may initially seem appealing or promise quick fixes, embracing a mindful and personalized self-care routine that resonates with your true self is key to nurturing our mental health in a meaningful and sustainable way.

雖然有些趨勢最初可能看起來很吸引人，或者承諾能快速解決問題，但要以一種有意義的、可持續的方式培養我們的心理健康，關鍵在於採用一種能與真實自我產生共鳴的有意識的、個性化的自我保健方式。

As you reflect on your self-care journey, ask yourself, are the self-care practices I engage in truly nurturing my mental health and promoting personal growth?

在反思自我保健歷程時，請捫心自問，我所從事的自我保健實踐是否真正促進了我的心理健康和個人成長？

Or are they simply following fleeting and potentially harmful trends?

或者，它們只是在追隨轉瞬即逝、可能有害的潮流？

How can I tailor my self-care routine to be more authentic, sustainable and aligned with my unique needs?

如何調整我的自我保健程序，使其更加真實、可持續，並符合我的獨特需求？
