Hello everyone, today's topic is these three L's will make you a shining star whether you are a caregiver or caregiver. The subtitle is Love, Listen and Learn. This was published in medium.com on April 10, 2023 and I'm recording this episode on August 12, 2024. I practice a few rituals in the morning that help me integrate and live my Bama, Body Emotions and Mind model.
One such ritual is saying affirmations. I have observed that by saying affirmations loudly in front of the mirror, I get to see myself, hear my voice, watch my body language and feel my feelings. To me, it serves as perfect coordination of how I'm physically showing up, emotionally feeling and mentally present to what I'm affirming. I started saying affirmations several years back when I lost my job and embraced self-employment as a blessing in disguise.
Seeing these affirmations have tremendously helped me move through major life transformations from mother to empty nester to mother or not to grandmother smoothly. In the professional arena, saying affirmations have helped me be determined with grit and gratitude when expectations are not met. In my following article titled, I'm inspired to write this after reading about gossip. I shared how saying an affirmation from Louisa's book, Meditations to Heal Your Life, describing the word gossip gave me the following insight.
By saying the above affirmation consistently, I'm conscious of what I do or say when I hear rumors and fake news. I do my best to inspire people by communicating uplifting information and keeping quiet when I hear anything negative. I would rather feel empowered by being silent and considerate of others than by saying anything negative within bracket even though it is supposed to give a sense of power. Today I was prompted to read the affirmation titled Caregivers from the book Meditations to Heal Your Life by Louisa L.
A. Take care of yourself the best you can. I am a shining light. My body is a miracle.
The bodies of the people I care for are also miracles. Our bodies know how to handle emergencies and they know how to dress and replenish themselves. We are learning to listen to our bodies and to give our bodies what they need. Sometimes caring for others is an overwhelming job.
It is more than we had anticipated. Learn to ask for help whether you are a caregiver or a caregiver or a caregiver. Loving yourself is one of the most important things you can do. When you truly love and accept yourself exactly as you are, it's as though you shift gears on some level.
Suddenly you can relax and know deep in your heart that all is well. I invite you to first, love and accept yourself whether you are a caregiver or a caregiver. The second, listen to your body and know that the bodies of people are miracles. The third, learn to ask for help.

I'm participating in the following challenge started by Anne Beikertram, which I participate actually in April 20, 20, 20 writing challenge. The lessons learned so far.
I beat the resistance of writing over 500 words. I'm choosing to accept these parts of mine while going through the challenge. Following the direction spot, sticking to the two requirements of over 500 words and tagging, camp and now Nemo challenge. Number two, taking it easy and being kind to myself part when I'm unable to keep up with the pace.
