Psycho-Regulation and Self-care

Lessons from Audre Lorde

Quotes of the Day

“I am a Black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet doing my work, coming to ask you if you're doing yours…”

“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation and that is an act of political warfare."

“I had to examine, in my dreams as well as in my immune-function tests, the devastating effects of overextension. Overextending myself is not stretching myself. I had to accept how difficult it is to monitor the difference. Necessary for me as cutting down on sugar. Crucial. Physically. Psychically. Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”

  • Audre Lorde, Writer and Warrior
