Mental Minimalism. What Caregivers must NOT think about
Contact Helping.Mom (we don’t spam)
What not to think about is the epitome of positive self-discipline. Think of the squirrel who loses half by thinking of all. The weight of wrong thinking submerges the caregiver, more than the doing of required tasks; our battles are more within than without. Mental minimalism is knowing what NOT to think about, so we can channel available energy, light & flow to care for others--while caring for ourself. Today Terry shares 7 things we must NOT think about to be effective caregivers--beginning with perfectionism and ending with criticism. Please share your own ideas to Info@helping.mom
