Time to change. Think of asking for help as a sign of wisdom. You realize that you’re at your peak and that muddling through produces less efficient results. By taking an active step in reaching out, you are taking back the reins of your life. You take your car to the shop for service, right? Maybe even have a delivery service for groceries to ease the running back and forth? Those things both count as "help." Perhaps, then, whether it’s a problem you’re not sure how to solve, or you're too emotionally drained, or just can’t figure out how to get that document sorted, you can raise your hand.

Anything that you can do, even the smallest of things can make a significant difference. Fill up your cup, calm the monkey mind because it increases your reactivity and decreases human error when caring for your loved one, your family, and yourself.
With so many things to balance in your everyday life, why not put a bit of old-school organization around some of them to make your life simpler? Your mind wanders when surrounded by clutter or trying to remember if it was the salt that you needed or the baking soda, so why not implement a few tricks to help put your mind at ease.

When it comes to daily living, your schedule is often full of your own tasks and needs, coupled with those of your loved ones.
Raise your hands if this sounds familiar; You’re in the middle of composing an email and remember that you put your car registration, somewhere.
Organizing is a concept that some cringe at, but it can be a cathartic relief that once you’ve put into motion will make a significant change in your life.
As we embark on a new year, perhaps this is an opportunity to open ourselves to new possibilities.
Your life as a family caregiver can get so packed with things to do and appointments that time can pass by quickly.
Ah, those days come back crystal clear when I was a family caregiver. Because you see, in the flurry of my day I knew I’d remember where I put the notes I made from Mom’s last doctor visit. I mean really, they were so important how could I possibly forget that I put them in the yellow section of the third folder in the second drawer. How hard could that be to find them?
