It almost guts your own health to have to suddenly take care of someone you love. The largest cohort of Americans right now is Baby Boomers, living their lives into their 80s, 90s and beyond. But if you suddenly have to care for a Boomer, what can you do that ensures your own health stays above the line? I say, UPGRADE YOUR SELF-CARE--how you take care of you--to a simple, holistic plan of action to meet the deep changes head on. I'm not an M.D., but I used a plan that adjusted my mindset and attitude to help me take care of my mother for five years. I got her meds down from 5 to 1 and helped her transition more sweetly, with zero bedsores, as she ended her 83yo journey. You too can upgrade your personal self-care so it assists you AND your loved one. Just use the 3 self-care boosted to the higher octave--> "self-healing" techniques that I used-- 1. Breathwork and meditation 2. Essential oils and aromatics 3. Hand healing I AM CALLING ON YOU NEW CAREGIVERS (and you leaders of caregiving entities). Don't get crushed under the burdens. With self-healing techniques you can... - Adopt an easy wakeup routine - Adopt an easy bedtime routine - Go back to sleep after caregiving disruption - Enhance food nutrition - De-stress quickly - Be more resilient when its called for --and this is more often than not. You CAN feel good—not pressured—into making wellness choices that support tranquility in the midst of the upset. It's your human right! And after the home health aide goes home (if you have one), the real care falls to you anyway. Caretaking is a complex industry. Even with 24/7 support (which can take a long minute kick in) your sudden involvement requires SPEEDY STEPS to meet the challenge. Step 1. Gift yourself-- 🎁 a goody bag of health-preserving actions (building towards your arsenal) 🎁 a set of simple new habits for little cost (and yet, generous benefits) 🎁 the commitment to your own self-healing, since "the body heals itself"

Continuing the ALTITUDE thread—this train (heal-mo’-beel) is going higher, up the spiral mountain of drudgery to boost endorphins, unpack stress and maybe emulate the thrill of rounding the bend like a roller coaster. I find it exciting. I love my daily routine applying sweet essential oils, presencing life force energy, and tapping on my face and torso. After doing this, I feel ready for the world and the beyond! This is what it looks like on the HealMobile wholeness, wellness, and dis-ease prevention voyage. 🚀 My purpose is to ensure you and your loved ones, as Works of A.R.T.* are safe and secure; to inspire actual enjoyment of this galactic ride. I’m being maybe too creative but I’m saving at least one life ~ my own. It's a life of caregiving-leadership that I admit feels depleting, draining, and constantly confronted from time to time. It's a mountain with valleys we're climbing, after all. Two decades ago, to make light of the journey, I felt compelled me to definitively address my dedication to collective healing. Alongside being a healing mobile, I wanted to establish the radical “conduct” of doing something about the body-mind's ability to self-heal. There is so much evidence of self-healing (which is redundant but we’ll not tackle that now.). In Western society, we’re not encouraged to “go there.” And yet, this is key to our freedom generally and health liberation in particular. I'm inspired to promote the holistic health lifestyle formed from childhood to now, which has me proclaiming myself Conductor of transformation transportation ~The HealMobile ~ on the Overground Railroad, in the manner of Harriet Tubman. 🌍 This is the imaginative, intangible world I live in. (“She’s in a dream world,” teachers said on school report cards.) "I dream a world..." So, I hold myself as Conductor of the unseen space of collective transformation of a people locked up mentally spiritually culturally socially, in a word (or in my niche), holy or wholly health-wise. And taking them to/making sure they are going to somewhere else, better.
