February is considered the month of love, but it goes far beyond being for lovers to encompass all our relationships. Being a caregiver for someone requires continual acts of love which over time can leave the caregiver feeling drained and stressed.
When feeling stressed, your body is in survival mode. Good sleep can become elusive and energy decreases. Your immune system and digestion suffers. Positive mood and focus becomes hard to maintain.
When the well from which you draw compassion and kindness, love and understanding, and peace, joy and happiness begins to run dry it needs to be refilled.
You don't need to go to a retreat or spa to refill your well of giving. In reality, it's little things that you can do every day, throughout the day that will help you to manage your stress. They will help you release tension, sleep better, improve your mood, increase your energy, and strengthen all your relationships.
New information is presented in each class along with items to take with you that will help you to effectively lower the stress that you feel. With a greater understanding of your body's response to stress, you will walk away from this class feeling empowered to take care of yourself without guilt and shame, know that it is possible to do so without compromising the care you are giving, and enhance the care you are giving.
