29. Mental Resilience in Caregiving
Manage episode 439191386 series 3564371
In this podcast episode, I dive deep into what mental resilience truly means for caregivers. As someone caring for a partner, mental resilience is the ability to stay strong and adaptable amidst ongoing challenges. It means recognizing when you're feeling stressed, worried, or anxious and having the tools to move out of those states instead of getting stuck.
To illustrate, I share two powerful examples of caregivers, Mary and Marianne. Mary lacks mental resilience skills, leading her down a path of increasing anxiety, sleepless nights, and guilt. In contrast, Marianne, who possesses these skills, navigates the same situation with clarity, calmness, and proactive action.
I explore the components of mental resilience: understanding how our minds work, observing and shifting our thinking, recognizing triggers, focusing on what we can control, and being results-oriented. I also discuss the profound impact these skills can have on your daily life, both during caregiving and beyond.
