What day is it? ๐Ÿ“†
Oh yes...It's Thursday. A caregiving day with me and my mom. I get to spend 14 hours with her, keeping her company and helping with her basic needs. I have the freedom to be on Skool, and it's usually a quiet day.
Anyone have caregiver experience in this community? As a friend said recently, "Caregiving is not for sissies." While I love the time, it's a lot to give. It's such a role-reversal to be caring for a parent..and easy in a lot of ways because I love her, and difficult in a lot of ways because I'm independent and her need has harnessed that.
Maintaining presence is a constant. Using the (EASY) AXIS/3-legs practice, I cultivate presence. How do you cultivate presence? Do you know? Do you have a funny story or joke about presence? I'm also told that humor clears the field... Let's clear this field!
Funny story: I was visiting with my aunt, she's 80 something and the real reason I am outdoorsy at all. She said spontaneously when we were talking about her work as a geobiochemist, "you know what we all do when we need to think hard about something? We go for a hike." I said, "aha! yes we do" knowing that I mean not only go outside and hike, but go outside and HIKE. Use your funniest walk. ๐ŸŒ€
