Care for the Caretaker
Be gentle with yourself
Remind yourself that you are an enabler, not a magician.
We cannot change anybody else.
We can only change how we relate to them.
Find a hermit spot - use it daily.
Give support, encouragement and praise to peers and management.
Learn to accept it in return.
Remember in the light of all the pain we see we are bound to
feel helpless sometimes. ADMIT IT without shame.
Caring and being there are sometimes more important than doing.
Change your routine often and your tasks when you can.
Learn to recognise the difference between complaining that relieves
and complaining that reinforces negative stress.
Be a resource to yourself.
If you never say NO what is your YES worth?
On the way home, focus on a good thing that occurred during the day.
