As human beings, are constantly focused on the doing, doing, doing, and Jeanette advises us that if we could just take a “power-pause” and listen more, we can gain a better understanding of what we need to accomplish our Great Work.
Jeanette believes if we can listen more to ourselves, we can begin to understand what we need right now and truly begin to feel to engage in what Jeanette calls “mental listening”. We, as humans, are amazing, we are here to solve problems, and the things we worry about are the things we care about the most.
If we can pause for a moment, and shift the “care for” to “care about”, we can understand that solving problems is not just about needing time off or time to get away, it’s about learning to “un-worry”. It is only then that we discover “self-care isn’t really about self…it’s about care.”
Jeanette’s concept that self-care isn’t about the self; it’s about creating a community that facilitates care was mind-blowing.
Her approach is so scientific and logical that I can’t help but think that if companies, families, teams, and even individuals shifted their mindset in this way, we wouldn’t have such a widespread burnout epidemic.
How many times have we been stymied by fear?
By uncertainty?
How about doubt?
Jeanette Bronee says that these are the feelings that chip away at our wellness and resilience.
Her tips for overcoming these “potholes” are practical and useful.
