![]() Three Goals:
Take care of number one! 'put oxygen mask on first before helping others' Most caregivers suffer more or less severe damage to themselves, especislly if relativees or dear ones are cared for Give best possible care More available Better observation - wide field of vision and perception More intuition - mammalian brain picks up from other mammalian brain Patient is under multiple stress Physical problems Mental problems Long term stress exposure Guilt for being a burden Fear of death, worsening condition Medical treatment not helping Side effects ... Giving Care: A Tough and Dangerous Job
High Stress Are you a caregiver? Do you have a caregiver in your family? Then you know that giving care to others is one of the most difficult jobs around! If you do it as a "professional "it is already tough enough. You know how difficult it is to deal with people day in and out who are ill or incapacitated. That means these people have a lot of stress. That stress often comes out for you to deal with. Now you are getting that extra stress on top of your job. Even more Stress Are you a caregiver for parent or family member who is ill or incapacitated? Do you have care for child who is ill or handicapped for an extended period? Your job is even tougher - it is even dangerous! Why is that? Because your "client" is a loved one. You cannot help but be emotionally deeply involved. And stress is an emotional issue. Your stress level from caring for person dear to you can easily reach dangerous levels. Dangerous Why would I say dangerous? If people work in a factory or on a construction site they have protective clothing, hardhats, and safety rules which the government makes sure are being followed. For emotional dangers you have nothing. Your stress of caring and watching your loved one goes straight to the heart. No safety belt, no bulletproof vest, just your raw emotions. Over time you learn how to deal with it as best as you can. That however may just hide the true impact on your health and well-being. Even Your Genes Will Age Prematurely A study by Stanford University of mothers who cared for their severely handicapped children showed that their genes aged six times faster than normal. That means their genes aged in one year of caring for their child as those genes would age in six years for normal person! I am Fred George Sauer and I know stress. I was born in a war zone and exposed to brutal destruction and poverty for the first six years of my life. As a result I struggled my whole life dealing with this childhood stress. Difficulties learning, anxieties, low moods and lacking self-confidence were a constant challenge for me. I found many ways to help: Regular physical activity and exercise, beauty in nature, poetry and classical music, yoga and meditation, even psychology groups, mindfulness and forgiveness work. It all helped. And I would recommend any of these tools for you to ease your burden. Pick what feels good for you and is easy to do. Feeling good is a key to combating stress. Why? Remember stress is an emotional thing. My Number One Recommendation My number one most urgent recommendation is to get moving. Get at least 20 to 30 minutes of exercise into your schedule. Do this 5 to 6 times per week. If necessary start out slowly and build up over time. Whether it is a brisk walk or a more intensive workout, it will begin to stress proof your body and mind. Work to achieve some deeper breathing and a good sweat. Then you know your heart and body got a good workout.
