There will be days on your caregiver journey that you will want to quit and you will definitely want to throw in the towel. However you must remember that your love one needs you and everything that you need to complete this assignment is already within you. The first thing you must do is wake up with a positive mindset, remember this too has and end date, realize that most of your help will come from outsiders and not your family so don't get disappointed when they don't show up. Take time daily to do something for yourself. It is not selfish to step away for a period of time to catch your breath and clear your mind. You may not be able to leave your home but you can find things to do within your home. Praying, Meditation, Journaling and Deep breathing exercises became my best friend. When you understand the more positive you are about your caregiving the better the experience will be. Being positive and having a positive mindset is a choice. You must choose this daily. If you don't choose to be positive and happy your caregiving experience will destroy you. You will struggle everyday to make it through your days and you will start to resent your loved one that you care for and every family member that doesn't show up to help. Choose Peace over Stress, Choose positive or negative and love over hate. If I can maintain my sanity and peace during my journey then I know you can too. I'm right here rooting for you. Friend trust me you got this!
