Hello everyone!
Super Congrats and so inspiring for me and others to hear of the successes🎓🎓📜🎆of older persons from 60 years to 96 years!
As long as that burning desire remains within you- go for it!
Many more educational centres are increasingly accommodating and appreciative of having older students.
So what can you be mindful of?
STUDY:
1/Do research to assess if in-person or online classes are not only available, but practical
2/ Be certain to share with those who WILL support and not discourage you;
NOONE starts from "Square One"- that is impossible , since every step on our journey that leads us towards our purpose , IS the RIGHT direction.
3/ Take advantage of any grants or discounts available just for older persons
HEALTH: Remember - a brain that cannot focus, cannot process, so please be mindful of YOUR health FIRST!
1/ Sleep
2/ Make a Schedule to include meals , study , rest , EXERCISE and recreation
3/ Ensure that your meals are high quality "brain foods"- a variety of vitamins in fruit and vegetable; hydration and protein(muscle, bone and brain health).
👏🏽GO FOR IT!🎓🎓📜🎆🎯🎯🎯😊
From my heart to yours always💗

Lana's Little Things Day #133- Codependency Hooks! Caution! ⚠️🪝💗🪝
#codependency #caregiverslife #relationships #stayfocused #healthyboundaries #newyear2024 #lanaslittlethings
Hi friends!
Codependency! 🪝💗🪝
The "hooks" can be disheartening and cause you to lose who you are in the process of being the one "who fixes", the one who "is always there to help".🤔(in any relationship).
In the context of elderly parent and family caregiver relationships, codependency occurs when the caregiver's sense of purpose and self-worth becomes overly reliant on meeting the parent's/spouses' needs, often at the expense of their own well-being.
⚠️🪝💗🪝Don't lose who you are!🙏🏽
What to do?
Set boundaries in love and kindness🚧💗
Seek support from others (yes, ask for help!)
Make self-care your priority!
Encourage the parent's/spouse's independence where possible- let them take "agency and accountability wherever possible.
The result? A healthier and more balanced relationship dynamic.
Yes , Yes?👍🏽😊
From my heart to yours always!💗
