Caregiver’s Heart Episode 12: Reducing Caregiver Stress Through Love and Forgiveness

Caregiver’s Heart Podcast Episode #12: Reducing Caregiver Stress Through Love and Forgiveness

L in “A HEART PLAN” is for Loving and Forgiving.

Loving and forgiving can help you continue with caregiving when you’re discouraged, stressed or exhausted. They are powerful tools in fighting caregiver stress.

They are what got me through my first Christmas as a doctor. One of my young patients died a few days before Christmas.

There was nothing we could do to prevent or stop it. And yet, I felt like a failure. It was only through the kind outreach of colleagues and family that I found the strength to forgive myself, and to continue to love my work.

In caregiving, there are many opportunities for loving and forgiving—to your care recipient(s) and to yourself. Take as many as you can.

Wondering why?

Because when the caregiving ends, whether your care recipient moves on or you stop being a caregiver you’ll know you gave love, hope and forgiveness.
Because love and forgiveness are SO powerful, they may indeed be the two most powerful tools you have as a caregiver. To keep on doing your best under adverse conditions, and to share your gifts with the world.
Because there is so much negativity in illness and disease, that bringing love and forgiveness also bring hope and light in the darkness of despair.

Sometimes as a caregiver you feel all you can do is gently touch or give a kind word. And it is more than enough.

Why Is Finding Your Purpose in Caregiving Important in Reducing Caregiver Stress?

Caregiver’s Heart Podcast Episode #11

Does caregiver stress seem to be one of those never ending problems you face?

It can easily seem that way. Why? Well there are several reasons.

The causes of caregiver stress may have more than one source. So if you treat one cause, another may still be there, even increase as you treat the other.
Sometimes the solutions are short term. Laughter for example can immediately reduce stress, although if the source of the stress is not addressed, the stress can quickly recur.
One of the ways to reduce stress is to discover your purpose in caregiving — and how it related to your life’s purpose. This week’s Caregiver’s Heart podcast addresses this issue…

Publishing a book, a video, a podcast, a blog post… means giving your ideas form. No more are you going to become an author someday. You can write it NOW following the simple tips and templates for authorship that you hear each week in this free podcast.

It’s all too common for authors to fail at the most critical point – the ending.

There’s a story I tell in this podcast episode about a pot of coffee. Be sure to listen for it, because you’ll easily notice the difference between a statement or suggestion and an effective ending, which is a call to action.

You’ll also discover what you can do at the very end of your book marketing pieces, such as social updates, blog posts, and videos, to keep your reader or viewer engaged!

#026 How Do I Keep My Reader Reading My Book? Awakened Author Adventure Episode 26

Welcome to the Awakened Author Adventure free writing podcast, where visionaries like you come for resources, tools and direction to help you write, publish and share your life-changing book!

Each week you get help in 1 of the 5 keys to author success in the BLISS Butterfly System, including how to write a book, book marketing help and more.

Today’s teaching comes from the I in the BLISS System for publishing – which is to say imprinting your message into people’s hearts and lives.

. This is the Tuesday audio message for Awakened Author Premium Members that you get to hear. It’s your peek behind the curtain into making your dreams come true for your book and beyond!

Theme of the Week – Mesmerizing Middles!

.Last week’s theme was Strong Starts. You can hear that message in Episode 25.

This week is all about how you can create mesmerizing middles and keep up momentum. Today’s message for free listeners is about keeping up your publishing momentum.

It’s all too common for authors to get excited about podcasting or creating videos or being on a new-for-you social network…only to lose momentum a few weeks later.

ITunes is littered with podcasts of 10 episodes or less, because the podcaster couldn’t or didn’t choose to keep up with the workflow of regular episode production.

So often, someone gets excited about blogging..for a few days or weeks. Then pretty soon it’s more than a month since the last post.

This sporadic production or waning wandering is NOT the way to build your author platform! You want to keep up your momentum, and this week’s episode will help you do just that.
