Transcript:

As caregivers, self-care is often described to us in terms of physical things we can do to relax our body and calm our nervous system – take a walk, take a bath, get a massage, meditate. We all understand by now that we have to “put our own oxygen masks on first.”

But, as you probably know, when you are in the thick of intense caregiving the response to self-care that roars from deep in your belly is often “WHO HAS TIME FOR THAT?”

This is why as a coach to caregivers, I am focused on the self-care you can do inside your mind.

The self-care of shifting your perspectives, choosing different stories, changing the tone you use to talk to yourself, and plugging your mental energy leaks.

This is the kind of incredibly potent self-care you can do while you are doing laundry, or in the waiting room at a doctor’s office, or cleaning medical equipment.

One of the main contributors to your caregiver exhaustion is the amount of mental energy you are unnecessarily hemorrhaging each and every day.

If this resonates with you, let me know.

The more mental energy you are able to conserve, the more you have available to use to stay connected to yourself and your goals while you give care.

Thank you for being one of the ones who care.
