Isolation & Connection- Using your mind to bridge the gap.

There are 7 billion people in the world. 53 million of them are caregivers living in the U.S. You are not alone. The odds are there is someone going through something very similar to what you are, with the many people caregiving. The key is to think about how many people might be experiencing many things you are. You might not be in their presence, but we are all connected energetically and in spirit.

Depression is common to caregivers because they are apart from the world much of the time. They can feel like they live in a prison unable to leave their houses. If you can't leave your home to connect with someone, such as a neighbor, friends or family, consider finding a healthy relationship with someone online. The best place to do this is through Linked In, Facebook and many other platforms.

Today, I talk about a secret that helped me overcome feelings of isolation, as a caregiver and throughout this epidemic situation. You have a powerful tool called your imagination and when you learn how to use it for feelings of isolation, it can create a different feeling within you.

Remember to include yourself in the care you give by giving yourself a few minutes everyday to meditate on a connection to the world. You serve many purposes, but the main one is to serve yourself.

Always Caring,

Samantha
