Suddenly You're a CAREGIVER?? [Classifieds]
It almost guts your own health to have to suddenly take care of someone you love. The largest cohort of Americans right now is Baby Boomers, living their lives into their 80s, 90s and beyond. But if you suddenly have to care for a Boomer, what can you do that ensures your own health stays above the line? I say, UPGRADE YOUR SELF-CARE--how you take care of you--to a simple, holistic plan of action to meet the deep changes head on. I'm not an M.D., but I used a plan that adjusted my mindset and attitude to help me take care of my mother for five years. I got her meds down from 5 to 1 and helped her transition more sweetly, with zero bedsores, as she ended her 83yo journey. You too can upgrade your personal self-care so it assists you AND your loved one. Just use the 3 self-care (boosted to the higher octave--> "self-healing") techniques that I used-- 1. Breathwork and meditation 2. Essential oils and aromatics 3. Hand healing I AM CALLING ON YOU NEW CAREGIVERS (and you leaders of caregiving entities). Don't get crushed under the burdens. With self-healing techniques you can... - Adopt an easy wakeup routine - Adopt an easy bedtime routine - Go back to sleep after caregiving disruption - Enhance food nutrition - De-stress quickly - Be more resilient when its called for --and this is more often than not. - You CAN feel goodโnot pressuredโinto making wellness choices that support tranquility in the midst of the upset. It's your human right! And after the home health aide goes home (if you have one), the real care falls to you anyway. Caretaking is a complex industry. Even with 24/7 support (which can take a long minute kick in) your sudden involvement requires SPEEDY STEPS to meet the challenge. Step 1. Gift yourself-- ๐ a goody bag of health-preserving actions (building towards your arsenal) ๐ a set of simple new habits for little cost (and yet, generous benefits) ๐ the commitment to your own self-healing, since "the body heals itself"
