Real Self-Care: Powerful Practices to Nourish Yourself From the Inside Out by Pooja Lakshmin
What does self-care really mean? From puppy yoga to gua shas, we are promised pastel-coloured 'quick fixes' to long-term social problems that cause burnout and stress. For Psychiatrist Dr. Pooja Lakshmin, we need to find a new, sustainable practice for real self-care!
Inspired by the title of her book, Real Self-Care, Lakshmin stresses that it's time to let go of the illusions of wellness and start practising real self-care. Inside the book, readers can expect to uncover the true meaning of self-care, with topics covering:
Self-care as not a product to buy or even a task to check off the list
Self-care as something we embody, not something to accomplish
Self-care as an internal decision-making process; about how we choose to spend our time and our energy"
