Believing in You
- Details
- Category: Thoughts Collection
- Written by Sally Thimm OTRL
There are many people who believe that the best way to change YOUR perception of YOU, is to use self-affirmation. That would be the process of focusing on your goal, your dream, your focus, and not allow negative thoughts to interfere with what you are trying to change.
Let's use the example of a care partner named Susan, who is feeling tired and frustrated. A family member recently told her that she needed to do a better job of taking care of her husband, because he was developing stiffness in his joints from lack of exercise...and Susan was devastated. She had to admit that she was tired of the whole 24 hour caregiving, but she didn't need any negative comments from family or friends.
She was doing all that she felt she could do.
Susan is tired, frustrated and feels very alone. She has gotten into a routine. Every day is the same, or at least it feels like it. She doesn't feel like she has a life of her own.
Here's the challenge. Susan has to turn those thoughts around. She needs to believe that she has worth and that she is providing a service that has merit, purpose and that she is an amazing soul.
The problem is that Susan does not feel amazing. Well...Susan has to start telling herself that she IS amazing. Amazing for doing what she does each and every day. She has to learn to stop being angry with her circumstances. Life happens and we are not able to control the process, but we can impact the process. We can challenge the process with good thoughts and good energy and see how that changes us and our situation.

Skilled nursing facilities and other medical facilities tend to use them to avoid medication distribution errors. For the elderly, this packaging style can be very difficult to manage, if the person has problems with fine motor or hand coordination and/or arthritis. If you…

Do You Have Breathing Problems?
in Medical Conditions
I think that we would all agree that breathing is essential to living. When our bodies do not get enough oxygen, what happens? The most common reaction to a lack of oxygen is a sensation of panic, because our brain is very smart. Our brains tell our lungs to respond with small, quick breaths to compensate for the feeling that we do not have…
