Caregiving |

June 22, 2015

How Can You Care for Your Brain?

This month is Alzheimer’s and Brain Health Awareness Month.

Brain health is not something you may think about routinely. Oh, if you’re caring for someone with dementia you might. Especially when you know your brain needs to be healthy in order to give optimal care.

And you may be reminded about your brain’s health if you misplace your keys or forget if you locked your door.

So how can you care for your brain?

7 Ways to Care for Your Brain

Well, there are seven steps you can do to start caring for your brain.

  1. Follow a Heart Healthy Lifestyle. Experts say that eating and exercising for your heart also help your brain. Reducing your cardiac risk factors is another way to help both your heart and brain.

  2. Engage you mind by challenging it. This can be through challenging mental activities or continuing your education. Doing mental exercises like puzzles or crafts can be challenging. You don’t have to do traditional crafts like knitting. One example is woodworking.

  3. Protect your head from Injury. Wearing a helmet when riding a motorcycle or bicycle makes sense, although many don’t do it. Protecting your brain can be as simple as protecting your head. And finding ways to prevent falls is another way to protect your brain from injury.

  4. Avoid mind-altering substances, which include smoking and drugs.

  5. Regularly get a good night’s sleep. Sleep is when your immune system works best. Both your brain and body need regular restful sleep.

  6. Engage socially with others. Whether talking over problems or enjoying others’ company, social interaction is important in keeping your brain healthy.

  7. Stay Happy! Choosing to be happy and finding help for symptoms of depression are important to your brain health. Depression has been associated with dementia, and optimism shown to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s.

Check with your doctor or health care provider about what you need to do to care for your brain. And Brain Health Awareness Month is a good reminder.

February 9, 2014

Are You Stressed, Feeling Alone From Alzheimer’s Caregiving?

When my Dad’s health declined, I had a hard time acknowledging it. He was always my big, strong hero and protector. I couldn’t imagine my life without him, and seeing him like that was painful.

It must have been harder on him…he felt frustrated — and even angry — that he couldn’t do the things he’d been able to do before. He was a proud man, and he felt embarrassed and humiliated with his diminished capacity to care for himself.

As Dad needed more and more attention, I never once thought of myself as a ‘caregiver.’ Not until I was lucky enough to get support from Dr. Ina Gilmore, our Ambassador of Caregiving.

I was worried about Dad, afraid I’d make a bad decision when it came to his care, and all the while struggling to keep all the other “plates in the air” — wondering if at any moment they would all come tumbling down. It was terrifying, and I felt alone…

Dr. Ina knew exactly what I was going through, and without her help I’m not sure how I would have made it through.

That’s why I am so honored and thrilled to share the following information with you…

Dr. Ina, Founder of Caregiving With Purpose, is hosting a remarkable global telesummit, and it’s important that you know about it! Please read what she has to say:

Are you an Alzheimer’s caregiver or know one struggling daily?

Caregiving can be the best thing you ever do for another. It can also be the hardest thing you’ll ever do. You can get so involved in giving care that your own wants and needs take a back seat, often ignored.

Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s or another dementia can be additionally challenging and isolating.

Additionally, there’s a social stigma too often attached to Alzheimer’s and other dementias. People often are uncomfortable around someone with dementia.

Even talking about dementia and the changes is brings can be upsetting and embarrassing.

Caregivers get included in this isolation due to the disease itself, the caregiving and the lack of time for a social life.

The causes of isolation are multiple and often chronic, easily going on for years.

If you think this will not affect you, consider this…

  • More than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s
  • Alzheimer’s is now the 6th leading cause of death in the U.S.
  • 1 in 3 seniors dies with Alzheimer’s or another dementia

It’s likely you will know someone with Alzheimer’s or another dementia, their caregivers or become a caregiver yourself.

That’s why I’m delighted to be share an important telesummit February 10 through 14, 2014 by Dr. Ina Gilmore MD. It’s free and available online or by phone. No travel involved! Replays will be available if you can’t make the sessions “live.”

Dr. Ina helps caregivers, especially those caring for someone with Alzheimer’s or another dementia. She knows dementia caregiving, having been “in the trenches” as both a professional and family caregiver.

She nearly lost her health while caring for her elderly mother Clara. Clara had cerebrovascular dementia, which has many symptoms and signs in common with Alzheimer’s. Dr. Ina understands the sacrifices caregivers and their families make and knows simple steps help you move from dragging yourself through each day… into thriving.

Dr. Ina’s telesummit, “Triumphing Over the Isolation of Alzheimer’s: Simple Solutions for Family and Professional Caregivers” is a place for experts in Alzheimer’s and other dementias to share their caregiving tips and solutions.

Wondering who will be in this telesummit? She’s lined up some of the world’s leading authorities!

The speakers include…

Lori La Bey, Recognized as the #1 Alzheimer’s Influencer by Sharecare and Dr. Oz, speaking on “Improving Dementia Care Through Economical & Global Collaborations.” She explains how Memory Cafes, The Purple Angel Project and Dementia Friendly Communities reduce the isolation of Alzheimer’s care.

James Creasy, Founder of Jiminy Wicket, a program using croquet to reduce the isolation of Alzheimer’s for both caregivers and patients.

Janet Edmunson, Inspirational Author and Speaker with over 30 years experience in health promotion. She cared for her husband Charles who fought a degenerative neurological disease. Janet will speak on the “Importance of Positive Emotions for Caregivers.” She uses science, personal stories of caring for her husband during his neurological illness, and practical activities to explore positive ways to get through this challenging life experience.

And 14 more!

This is your opportunity to connect with these Alzheimer’s experts and with other caregivers who understand the isolation and pain of giving care to someone with dementia.

Miracle Mindshift! Success Stories

Kevin Wilke "During the time I was using the Miracle Mindshift, out of nowhere significantly increased the money into my business while at the same significantly decreased the time I was working in my business.

So now, this is something that came out of nowhere because of this program.

And now... a new branding opportunity has opened and is going to be a great new income opportunity and a bigger business!"

- Kevin Wilke

Hear Kevin's LIVE Success Story:

Lynn Benjamin"Something so beautiful happens each day as I listen to the daily Miracle Mindshift. The best way I can describe the experience is simultaneously getting juiced up a vibrational level, or more, while getting settled right into, grounded into the center of my being.

Today, while listening to day 15, SEVERAL lights in the mansion turned on. A rapid download of aha's begin to make my heart feel different. I'm integrating now, and can say that I will now experience the four directions on a physical level, rather than having the four directions as just concepts. How part of the earth we are. I look forward to a deepening of this physical connection with the four directions.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom, I'm so grateful!"

- Lynn Benjamin

StacyQuinn"I went through the day 11 content, and I was hearing the same critical chatter in my mind. I realized how these rules, this previous programming was resisting my affirmations.

When I did my verbal affirmations, the chatter in my head was actually "talking" over my verbal affirmations. I was inches away from a mirror, looking directly in my own eyes, saying my affirmations and the voice in my head said:
"How could a gift to the world be so ugly?"

I was surprised by my own reaction. I started laughing. I mean belly laughing. I'm still laughing as I write this.

I don't know who that dude was but he's very rude and he's not my friend. I now know what he sounds like and how he talks.

I wanted to send this email to thank you. Because I'm not listening to that jerk anymore."

- Stacy Quinn

Monica_Leccese"I completed my first "Mindshift" after having battled the cacophony of voices and Master Trickster that seem to come along with changing thought patterns. I devoted a portion of each day to the practice, although not the same time each day: to the imaging, writing, and speaking of my declarations and affirmations. I recorded each "Gift" that I received and was sure to be grateful for each one, every day. By the end of the month my declarations were manifesting although not in an "overwhelming" manner. Still...at the end...I was so very grateful. I decided to commence another "shift" ...   I would create a circle, image my declarations, state them...but on a lesser scale than a full practice. After that decision I started to create a circle where I would light a flame to each direction. .......and that's when it happened......I shifted. I can only describe the feeling as the most amazing I have ever experienced: time, the world, my perspective...stopped; the energy rushing through me was so empowering it was nearly overwhelming. I had never before felt so alive, so en pointe in the moment, so...on...purpose. I had rubbed the magic lantern and the genie has held my hand ever since. I have been getting EVERYTHING I have been asking for, to the EXACT degree I have asked. Remember...you get what you ask for."
