As a rare disease caregiver or care partner, you may be feeling increasing pressure to do it all. As a result, the time you spend caring for yourself and recharging your internal battery is likely minimal at most, which unfortunately is hindering your ability to take the best care of those who rely on you most.
Do you ever let your phone or computer battery drain to zero percent without plans of charging it as soon as possible? Would you put off charging a medical device for days on end? In today’s society, most individuals do not go a day without recharging their devices. Unfortunately, the same does not hold true for resetting and recharging oneself.
In the video below, Gill McClean, Director of Professional Development at Pure Edge, Inc. describes the critical importance of taking a few minutes every day to implement breathing, movement and meditation techniques to reduce stress, reset and recharge and walks viewers through some quick, easy to adapt strategies for managing stress and recharging our internal batteries. If you don’t have time to watch the whole video, we’ve time stamped the breathing, movement and meditation techniques for ease of reference.
