This use of the word “flirt” makes me think of some of Esther Perel’s teachings. She speaks of “Erotic Energy” as a wide and vast spectrum of expression of life force energy, sexual energy being a part of the spectrum. My understanding of her use of the word “flirt” is an “Erotic” expression where one person acknowledges the attractiveness of one’s being, or two beings mutually acknowledge the attractiveness of the other, of the life force energy that moves through them. (I see your beauty!) I appreciated how she expanded upon the meaning of flirting in this way out of an exclusively sexual context.
I wonder if what is meant by this is more like being playful/youthful as opposed to trying to attract sexual attention? I was also surprised to see it but perhaps it’s our of context?

I don’t agree with all of the items on the wheel of self-care suggestions at the top of this unit. For example, how does flirting contribute to emotional self-care?

Flirting reflects the mindset of the person who wrote it. I interpreted it to mean being playful and having fun with your relationships
