Caregivers are bombarded with additional daily stressors which greatly undermine their ability to function as effective caregivers. Before they can overcome these demands, they need to see the whole context of life to rediscover their true identity and to fulfill their individual dreams. The following analogy illustrates the heart of the matter. Prior to airplane takeoff the stewardess demonstrates emergency measures and recommends putting the oxygen mask on yourself first, and then on the person or child in your care. Because if you pass out, your charge doesn’t stand a chance! Give yourself room to breathe and step into the light of creativity and empowerment. The people you care for will be better because of it! That’s the guiding light behind my new book, Changing Habits: The Caregivers’ Total Workout (Resurrection Press, September 2005). This is the first comprehensive health and fitness program that shows caregivers how to energize, get fit, eat right, shed stress and enjoy life. A series of small, defined changes can lead to sustainable happiness. Each chapter demonstrates how to restore balance physically, emotionally and spiritually.
