  • #43 Fun App - Focus better
    Hi everyone! Phone addiction is real. It has been for me too. I found a great way to get you back onto focusing on what's important. Apps for controlling phone use in a fun way. Also, the president is handing out $100 to anyone who gets this, but not if they want food or help with shelter. 
    Remember to include yourself in the care you give by limiting the time you use on your phone and focus on what matters.  
    Always Caring, Sam

      Recently, I made an appointment to see a new dentist, because I had tooth pain. Turn out, the dentist has been in trouble for insanitary practices. I cancelled. I talk about the importance of researching any new doctor or dentist. ******* Important links:

      • Caregivers Pace, Plan and Prepare - Managing caregiving as you care for you too!

        I recorded this two years ago, while living in my trailer, so the sound isn't the best. Also, I was in some pain and you might hear it in my voice. Still, the message is important, so here it is:)  ***** 

        It's about how caregiving can affect you. It can feel like life is out of your control, after being tossed, off guard, into caregiving. It's important to focus on the reality of things and incorporate a plan for self-care.  ****** A plan should support every area of your life. Daily self-care, establishing healthy boundaries and knowing your limits are crucial for approaching caregiving positively. 

        • Here are a few things caregivers should consider:   
          1. When someone needs urgent care stay aware and don't forfeit your care from the start.    
          2. It’s important to listen to other people who care about you and not be defensive about your caregiving.  
          3. Your care recipient will listen to you when you set an example for them.    
          4. It’s admirable to be a caregiver but your life is just as important as those you care for.   

            5. ***** By not caring for yourself, you set a poor example for your family and place a burden of guilt on the care recipient. Love yourself in order to show love to others.***** 

            Remember to include yourself in the care you give by knowing your limits and strengths in caregiving.

          5. #41 Caregiving for Yourself - Speak up about what you want if you need care someday
            • Today I talk about the importance of vocalizing what you want to people who might become your caregiver one day. All of us will need care at one point in our lives. *****
            • Sometimes doctors and people over-step boundaries thinking they know what's best for aging people. A good doctor will believe in your ability to care for your loved one and know their place is only to make suggestions.  *****
            • When caregivers seem confused about what to do, doctors give generic advice and it might not be appropriate for your loved one. *****
            • If you receive advice you feel uncomfortable about, get another opinion and talk it over with those involved. Trust your gut and know how important you are to the person you love. You might be the only person who believes in their independence as an important part of care. It's a vital part of living with purpose, with limitations. ***** 

              • Remember to include yourself in the care you give by being faithful to the person in your care, so you'll receive the same someday.

Today, I talk about the evidence that supports your self love and how to stay true to yourself always.
