You know those days when nothing went right, and you feel "turned upside down"?
Ever had one, or 2 , or 21 of those days?!😲😲
Acknowledge( not condemn)!💝
Negative feelings can seem to have more power to discourage, especially when one is tired.
Family Caregivers know so well how unpredictable, the days can be!😤
Many have come into this role suddenly; unexpectedly, and the requirements can easily become overwhelming......
Physical, financial and emotional pressures can pile up; sibling disagreements on how best to "take care of mum and dad" can be very distressing, and many times regret, frustration, and even anger and resentment can become the norm, not the exception.
So how can we turn this around so that we can "transform the negative"? As with all the times when we feel "turned upside down", it is good to slow down, take a breath (as always); and acknowledge your feelings; it didn't go right, you could have responded rather than reacted.
Who of us has always done everything correctly and never put a foot wrong?🤔
Let's not condemn ourselves- most often we are our harshest critics.😔
So be gentle with yourself and forgive yourself; look back at the situation(s) and seek practical ways where you can take control, rather than letting the situation control you. Apologise; clear up misunderstandings where you can.
Moment by moment.
You are doing the best you can. Acknowledge yourself!🙂💥💥💥💥💥
From my heart to yours!💗
Happy Thursday everyone!💥😊Welcome to the challenge! Day 8!
21-day Challenge: Thrive into 2024!🎉"Tip8 : "Your Vision; Your Future🌎!"(LLT Day#109)

Tip 8- Visualize Your Future! Imagination is everything- the key to coming attractions! (Einstein)✈️🌎💥
Everywhere we turn, it seems as if all people talk about is "visualization".
Just what is it?
Human beings are distinct as designed with the ability to "see" what has not yet happened. From the aeroplane ✈️to your basic coffee cup, everything in the material, visible world is started in someone's imagination.
Essentially, if you can "see it, you can design it into existence". That
This does not mean that if you sit up all night and really think about a new car or ideal day, or no financial challenges, it will "appear".
No- visualisation is about slowing down, taking a quiet place and time to really use your imagination of your deepest desires and heartfelt goals.
This "fills your cup", gives a sense of purpose, and then you can "see the forest" of accomplishment, not the "trees" of daily woes.🌎🛣️💗💥
Caregiving requires time, a lotttt of time, energy and heart, and especially if you work full orpart timee, it is entirely understandable to feel that your goals and dreams have to be pushed aside. So howcan youu start?
1/✅ start with 3 deep breaths to calm your mind (ensure a quiet space first) (a relaxed brain is most creative).
2/ ✅ now imagine your greatest heartfelt goal- personal, work, relationships, health; see the impact; all in lights; the clothes you are wearing; your favourite smell; no dream is too big if your brain can see it!
3/ ✅ write them down in as much detail as possible - this is key- write it in your brain, and it will cooperate and actually "conspire with you!
4/✅set down one practical way towards this goal- ask a trusted friend to be an accountability partner
See it! Feel it! Do it! Start NOW!💯💥
I can "see" the success coming your way!🏆😁
It's not "woo-woo stuff"- the proof is there!
Try it!✅😊
From my heart to yours!💗
21-day Challenge: Thrive into 2024!🎉"Tip7: "Embrace The Journey, Bumps and All!🛣️😊😔💗"(LLT Day#108)

Tip 7- Who knows what tomorrow will bring?🤔
In life, sometimes there can be some thick "humps"; sudden, unexpected unpleasantness.
Each day " has its own badness" for sure, and there is nothing in the outer world that we really have control over.😔
How, then, can caregivers ( and really all of us), embrace our life's path, with its rockiness, instability, uncertainty, and yes, drama!?
It is empowering to embrace the whole journey!🛣️💥
Perhaps your role and situation in life have changed in a way that you never expected.
If you feel that you were thrown for a loop and it is getting you down, see the bigger picture- take it day by day, flow with the journey, even when days are sad and you feel frustrated look up and out - there will be good days as well, and they will keep you going!
So.... what went well today?😊🛣️💥
From my heart to yours!💗
