Rayna Neises, ACC, host, reflects on her conversation from last week with Susan Stern. Susan shared several hands-on tips regarding resilience and its importance during the caregiving journey. Resilience is the capability to recover quickly from difficulties and Rayna provides the following suggestions for building resiliency:
- Learn what your “WHY” is for your caregiving journey.
- Be sure not to do things because of guilt.
- Understand and set your boundaries and be willing to review them and change or offer alternative options.
- Are you feeling walked on or taken advantage of? Evaluate what is happening so that changes can be made, and boundaries can be drawn.
- Give yourself permission to set limits.
- Boundaries will be pushed but having them established allows you to build resilience.
- Reframing is switching the way you perceive something by looking at it from a different view. What can you reframe to experience the benefits?
