The one thing I try to do - practice mindfulness - to focus my attention on the task at hand, in an informal practice or a meditation, to centre myself. A recent refresher course helped me realise how much I've leaned on this over the years.
Thank YOU, Victoria! This series is much needed by many. Hope it helps! And yes, breaking down what’s right in front of us,…”noticing…what is it that my heart needs right now?” Taking just a moment can change everything.
Mary Beth, thank you for sharing this letter with us, with sharing such love with your younger self. Girl, you got through all that!! You are a survivor, mama! Your boy is a survivor, mama! I love how you continued to care for yourself that whole time and wow, what a difference it made (is still making). It has been a privilege in honor to walk this journey with you 🙏🏼💕😘
So beautifully written, Mary Beth, and so very relatable. I would also echo journalling for self care. I discovered its power perhaps a year into my recent caregiving journey. I try to write at least a few sentences every day, and it keeps my head straight! Thank you for sharing this.
Aw, thank you, Rachel🙏🏼 it’s like our own secret sacred space. Just for us. Wishing you love and care on your caregiving journey.💛 Thank you for taking a moment to read.
Thanks, Diana! I love your practice! Seems so simple. But, it packs such a huge impact on daily life, when we consistently take a moment. Appreciate you sharing💛

Thank you for sharing your journey, Mary Beth! I’m so glad and happy for you that y’all are ok!
As for my helpful habit- I read a poem or inspirational quote every morning, and I journal in the evening.
