Caregiving Readiness: Transforming Chaos into Opportunity
Adversity is part of life. We get to choose how we perceive it. We can allow the resulting chaos to destroy our confidence and our understanding of who we are as a person, or we can prepare/plan what our reaction might be in such a situation. Whether it’s a parent experiencing a major event with a child, siblings experiencing a major health event with an elderly parent. receiving notice of a sell-out of your apartment building leaving you with no place to live, or being chastised by a supervisor/major client, adversity is hard. That is, unless we change our perspective from fear and chaos to one that sees the opportunity in whatever the unforeseen event may be. This video talks about changing our perspectives during a chaotic and adverse event.

Negotiating: What are desired outcomes?
It can be very complex when dealing with other humans. There are 5 negotiating styles that might be used in different circumstances, or even in the same conversation as a progressive toolset if one or more of the five seems inappropriate or falls on deaf ears. The important thing to remember is that if you don’t negotiate in a conflict, others involved will pick up on this and engage in getting the decision slanted to their desired result. I’ll discuss the impact of negotiating on your peace and your loved one’s wellbeing.

Decision-making: Reducing problems to 3 decision types
Deciding to be a caregiver, whether willingly or not, is just the beginning of your journey and additional decisions you may have to make, especially as a POA. For example, there could be emotional encounters with other family members. If so, try to figure out what’s really behind the behavior. You have some decisions to make, based on your wellbeing and that of your loved one. Your initial emotional reaction aside, I’ll be discussing three primary decision-making methods for you to consider.

Reframing Repercussions to Results
When being verbally attacked, it’s all too easy to go on the defensive. This is where pre-meeting mindset preparation is crucial for any caregiver to maintain their inner peace and reduce the impact of stress on their body. A person’s outward signs of well-being are connected to their inner well-being. I’ll discuss a few ways to accomplish this “outward-inward” well-being state that I like to use to listen/respond without internalizing negativity .

The Health Impact of Putting Yourself Last
As caring people, it’s not until our loved-one experiences a life-changing event, and we are called into service that we begin to understand the life-changing event also took place in our lives. As friends disappear, and family buries their heads in the sand, any resemblance of what our lives were before is gone. Caregivers can often feel like they fell into a black hole in some foreign universe. When that feeling is prolonged over time, caregivers develop their own undesirable health issues. In this video, the caregiver’s health impact for elevated stress, anxiety and depression is closely examined and how the impacts can be reduced.
