EMPOWERMENT: Are you managing your life - or is your life managing you?
I've found one of the best ways to feel empowered with the frustrations and challenges of caregiving is to learn how balance the needs of your loved one and your self-care.
INSPIRATION: Have you ever had "one of those days" where everything that could go wrong did and then some. I've found a good way to be prepared is to expect the unexpected and make a list of things that inspire me and lift my spirit, then I'm able to switch reels and get back on track without it ruining my day. Try it and let me know what you think.
TRANSITION: Maybe your transition in becoming a caregiver was like mine, in that it happened lightning fast and i was left overwhelmed and uncertain as to what to do next. But with resources and support, I was able to pull everything together and cope with the situation at hand - but I can assure you it wasn't easy.
Whether expected or unexpected, transitioning to being a caregiver can be a challenge, but with the right tools and support, as you move through the journey, you learn to let go of what was and then look at what is each day. - Need more information go to my Services page or my Contact page

in life, but you can tailor make your
attitudes to fit those situations.

MY SHARING CORNER:
In the past I've mentioned in my blog about laughter and music therapy for health and wellness. They are not only proven benefits for the person you may be caring for, but also for the caregiver and just folks in general.
How do I know? I lead a sing-a-long group, and I've earned the nickname Karaoke Glo!!
Although my singing is not American Idol level by any means, but as karaoke leader at the wellness class, everybody joins in - on tune, off tune or no tune and we have a great time. Try it - you just might like it.
