“Faux self-care is a method—in the moment, going for a run might improve your mood, but it does nothing to change the circumstances in your life that led you to feel drained, energy-less, or down. On the other hand, the work of real self-care is about going deeper and identifying the core principles to guide decision-making. When you apply these principles to your life, you don’t just feel relief in the moment, you design a system of living that prevents the problems from coming up in the first place.”
Pooja Lakshmin, Real Self-Care: A Transformative Program for Redefining Wellness

“1. Set boundaries with others. 2. Change how you talk to yourself. 3. Bring in what matters most to you. 4. This is power—use it for good.”
Pooja Lakshmin, Real Self-Care: A Transformative Program for Redefining Wellness

“Boundaries are hard not because you can’t identify yours, but because you are worried about the backlash.”
Pooja Lakshmin, Real Self-Care: A Transformative Program for Redefining Wellness
