Caregivers ...  Prioritizing our wellbeing is an act of love

Wellbeing is hard for caregivers, now more than ever     


Burnout is all too common - over 60% of us feel stressed, overwhelmed, and irritable daily which makes it harder to be as loving and supportive as we want. 


What's the solution?  It's simple, take periodic steps back from the constant doing and problem solving and give yourself a break. Even 5 breaths of pause can change your energy levels and disposition yet so many of us struggle to do even this,  BUT, you owe it to the ones you love to take this pause.  As the saying goes, "you cannot give what you do not have".  It's not selfish to recharge it's an act of love.

Words to sit with this week

Allow, by Donna Faulds

There is no controlling life.
Try corralling a lightning bolt,
containing a tornado. Dam a
stream and it will create a new
channel. Resist, and the tide
will sweep you off your feet.
Allow, and grace will carry
you to higher ground. The only
safety lies in letting it all in –
the wild and the weak; fear,
fantasies, failures and success....
