Self-Care is not selfish

At some point you have probably tried following a sleep, running or diet plan to refill this infamous vessel. The impact of these physical activities on wellbeing is well known and good on you for giving them a go. I’m expecting that this has had its challenges. With youngsters at home, finding time for fitness, to cook healthy meals, or sleep, is hard. At work taking breaks, fitting in movement and having time to think, can be equally difficult.

These are usually the solutions we turn to first, they are technical solutions, ones which appear easy to implement and control. The reason they don’t always work is because life gets in the way.

Those of us who lead both at work and home don’t need another book about the usual self-care strategies. These can be a challenge to fit into your lifestyle. You want to learn how to put yourself first in everyday situations, make decisions which sit well and reduce stress. This book with support you to filter your decisions using a self-care lens.

The new self-care strategies will enable you to be the positive and supportive leader you want to be.

It’s about my experiences:

• as a leader, of teens at home and teams at work.

• as a facilitator of courses on communication and wellbeing.

• as a leadership coach.

• of working with teams in conflict.

• of coping with redundancy and change.

  
  

It’s all about self-care strategies.
