March NAPO Austin Chapter Meeting

Speaker: Katie McDonald, Self Care Strategist

Topic: Self-Care Isn't Selfish, It Is Your Duty

What you will discover

We know how to get things done. It is what we do. Who we are. We are the ones everyone relies on. And we rarely disappoint…even if it means abandoning ourselves. Day after day we uphold promises to others in service to our work, families, community yet we think nothing of breaking our word to ourselves. The fantasy that today will be different-we will get enough sleep, rest, good nutrition, and exercise endures. We think we have to chose self-care over productivity and we know which one will win every time. In our culture a to-do list is valued above a to-be list. Maybe we can’t pull it off anymore. We are tired, resentful and ready to challenge the long held belief that self-care is selfish. Something has to change and we are poised to leverage a resource we have yet to employ-intentional and unapologetic self-care.

• Expose the ways in which we bury our legitimate needs in tree busyness
• Gain clarity that self-neglect is selfish and an ill-advised career strategy
• Adopt transformative, disruptive and implementable mind shifts and strategies for peace of mind, wellbeing and impact
