The Self-Care Mindset - by Jeanette Bronee (Paperback)

About the Book

"Inclusion. Wellbeing. Care. This is the future of work. The new generation no longer wants to accept that work hurts and that to succeed, we must sacrifice our well-being and health. Throw in the fact that our three core relationships - "self," "others," and "work," are overlapping like never before, and to create the future of work we all want to see, we must rethink self-care in the workplace and stop seeing it as something we do on our own time, but rather a mindset that provides us with the fuel and tools to change and grow. The Self-Care Mindset is an extension of Jeanette's most valuable teachings; rooted in solving the burnout crisis and navigating change and uncertainty through a more inclusive and holistic approach to self-care where we protect and harness our most important resource: our humanity. Once presented with the many paradoxes surrounding self-care, readers will be walked through three sections: "Think," "Engage," and "Act." In each section, they will be introduced and given proven tools and frameworks Jeanette has designed to help navigate FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) including, the "Power Pause," the "C.A.R.E. Framework," and "AAA." Focusing on "work-life balance" is outdated and not relevant to our new world. Now is the time we focus our efforts on "work-life quality" and this starts with recognizing that work is an ecosystem of relationships, and it starts with the one we have with ourselves. Accessing what it means to be human and equipping ourselves with the tools to reclaim agency in our lives and our work - which is the true definition of self-care"--

The world has changed, our lives have changed, and in recent years, our work has changed. Despite the disruption, our relationship and understanding of self-care have remained the same as we still see it as something fluffy or a perfect list of habits that we "do" alone outside of work to recover. But what if self-care wasn't something we "do"? What if self-care is a mindset that allows us to achieve peak performance, engagement, and growth without burning out and sacrificing our health and joy?

In The Self-Care Mindset, celebrated well-being and mindset expert Jeanette Bronée delivers an actionable and groundbreaking approach that challenges us to rethink self-care at work so we no longer have to choose between being healthy and being successful. With Jeanette's inclusive approach to self-care, you will receive the tools to protect and unlock our most important resource: our humanity. You'll learn how to better manage stress, break free from living in survival mode, and navigate FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) so you can harness change and grow by reclaiming agency and recovering what you care about.

You'll also:

• Discover proven frameworks and useful tools, like "Power Pausing," the "C.A.R.E. Framework," and "AAA"
• Find ways to move beyond the outdated concept of "work-life balance" to one of "work-life quality"
• Learn to build an ecosystem of relationships with yourself, with others, and with work itself.

Inclusion. Well-being. Care. This is the future of work. A future where well-being is the foundation for peak performance, engagement, and a culture where people belong and work better together by cultivating connection, communication, and collaboration.
