Jeanette Bronée reminds us how important it is to engage in a conversation with ourselves and that to thrive in our lives we need to first pause before we move onward and upward. If you haven't already, take a moment to pause, breathe and then go get a copy of The Self-Care Mindset.

Are you working and living in survival mode?
This is obviously no way to live.
But, it isn’t your fault.
You’ve been misled when it comes to self-care.
Culture strategist and author of The Self-Care Mindset, Jeanette Bronée believes self care is less about taking care of ourselves and more about supporting ourselves in being at our best from the perspective of getting to know ourselves and what we need so we can work and live better lives.
The self-care mindset begins with growing your self-awareness.
It is not about achieving the fantasy of a perfect 50/50 work-life balance.
I really enjoyed this book cause it is unique and different than most other self-help books that touch on similar topics.
Jeanette believes the act of self care should not be taking time out of our day for our health but it’s how we work with our mind all day long to stay calm and collected and productive.
The sole act of needing to take a day off is not sustainable.
We should be able to perform highly at work and at home without needing to dedicate a full day to caring for ourselves.
Her book: The Self-Care Mindset provides an actionable and thought provoking approach that encourages us to rethink self-care at work so we no longer have to choose between being healthy and being successful.
With Jeanette’s inclusive pathway to self-care, you will receive all the tools to protect and unlock our most important resource: our humanity.
You’ll learn how to improve stress management, get out of 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.
Read more about her unique approach and implement her guidance today so you can rethink self-care and live your best life!
May the PAUSE be with You.

A well put together self care book that is up to date and current with self care post pandemic. I am delighted that an author has taken the approach to speaking about the changes that need to happen in self care after the pandemic and the challenges each of us face now to best help cope with the experiences brought about with this worldwide crisis. The narrative is from the perspective of the author, Jeanette Bronze and her personal story of challenges she faced and she uses these experiences as examples to explain different factors of self care. The final chapters are focused on tools for the reader to implement into their daily lives.

This book is a great read with it's new approach to self-care. The more we know and get in touch with ourselves with what we need, we then can grow, prosper, and live a happier healthier more productive life. Once we are out of survival mode, we can address our needs and watch our mindset grow and we thrive. I highly recommend this book and the fresh perspective on self-care.

Definitely a refreshing and transformative perspective on self-care that challenges traditional notions. Bronée demonstrates that self-care is not just a checklist of external habits, but rather a mindset that can empower us to achieve peak performance, engagement, and growth without compromising our health and happiness.

An excellent book that anyone who works, especially in a corporate office, should read. A lot of it was stuff I’ve believed for a long time and many of the tools are ones you can actually apply to real life.

📕 Why (Not) to read this book (Target Audience)
Good book on the importance of Self-Care.
👀 How this book changed my daily live (Takeaways)
We are not the problem to solve, create better work life quality.
Despite our continuos connection, we got disconnected from ourself.
Our intention fuels our attention: focus on what you want to achieve not what you want to avoid
We burn out from woring to much, and feeling that we do not matter.
Culture is about people and how we engage and comunicate. So culture is always present.
1. Psychological safety
2. Belonging
3. Inclusion
WE choose are futures in organizations we trust that care
⁉ Spoiler Alerts (Highlights)
When things get though we dive deeper in work instead off taking care off our self. Being a whole human.
