Sustaining Your Well-Being in Higher Education
Values-Based Self-Care for Work and Life
About this book
This book provides an evidence-based approach to sustainable self-care, anchoring these strategies in individual academic workers' core personal values. It teaches readers how to use their values to leverage self-care strategies into a workable, individualized, and effective map to wellness.
Working in the demanding environment of higher education can leave little time for self-care, yet making space for wellness and self-care is essential to creating a creative and innovative environment for academic work. This book shows how to create and successfully implement realistic self-care plans. By identifying core values and using these to develop individualized self-care plans, Sustaining Your Well-Being in Higher Education pushes back against a one-size-fits-all approach while also discussing the role of self-care in academic labor activism and providing strategies for readers to become advocates for better self-care practices within their zones of influence.
Designed to provide academic workers with the skills they need to develop workable and sustainable self-care plans, this book is an invaluable resource for students and professionals working in all areas of higher education.
