The quicker you get clear on whose results you own, the better you are!

Even though you care for your loved one and do all the things, you actually are not responsible for their results – not at all. You don’t get to take responsibility for the good or bad things they do (eat, call their doctor, go to their medical appointments, go for a walk, take their meds, etc). Human brains love to take credit for those close to us, both for their good deeds and also take for their so-called bad choices.  We often guilt trip ourselves for what our loved ones do.

You only get to own how YOU show up as a caregiver/family member. The ultimate measure, the evolutionary experience of being a caregiver to a loved one will come as you learn your ability to love.

The only result worth measuring is how well you learned to love.

Yes this can be challenging – caregivers often do not love their role or tasks of caregiving.  Reach out for a free 20-minute consultation and we can talk about this.
