Stress and the Caregiver
August 24, 2009
Health care workers have one of the largest incidences of burnout than any other career. One of the reasons for this is that individuals in the health care field are so used to giving to others, that they sometimes forget to put themselves on the list of people to care for.
Brother, Can You Spare 30 Seconds?
August 23, 2009
There are 86,400 seconds in a day. How many of those seconds are spent on yourself?
If I told you that even spending 30 seconds of those 86,400 seconds on your needs, could mean a huge difference in your day, would you consider taking that time for yourself?
Most people spend most of their day focused on the needs of others, the needs of their job, their spouse, their children, their friends, their co-workers.
It’s amazing to me how often I hear people tell me that they can’t even find 30 seconds during their day to devote to their relaxation! 30 seconds!?

During joyous events, having gratitude becomes easier; you may rejoice at the birth of a baby, or delight in your new job promotion. When new positive events occur, you may find it easy to feel gratitude. Once the positive event has been assimilated into your life, you often lose the feeling of appreciation. It is important to learn to remain appreciative and not take life’s blessings for granted; to transcend the mundane no matter how much time has passed.

When Was the Last Time You Played?
August 11, 2009
How much do you nurture yourself doing your day? One of the ways that you can nurture yourself is to give yourself permission to play. How much do you play? Do you schedule time to play? Remember playtime as a child? How come we don’t have playtime as an adult. The current research on play indicates that the more play we have, the healthier we will be. It seems our body likes to play. Our immune system improves when we play. Of course, we have to differentiate what we mean by play. Play is not about drinking alcohol (sorry!) or taking drugs, it is about the natural expression of free, spontaneous, fun.
