"If you want to know what you have been thinking, look at your life," Barbara Leger.
More and more I see the truth in the above statement. Many years ago a beautiful therapist told me that there was thought that cancer was caused by a person being unwilling to change. Perhaps many diseases have their root cause in our thinking, Louise Hay certainly thought so. It probably does us no good to consider whether dementia is caused by one's thought; but we, as caregivers, might benefit from considering our own thoughts and whether they support our health or not. There are so many tasks to do as caregivers that it is easy to become numbed out or overwhelmed with just getting them done. We must not allow that for ourselves. We must, in my opinion, stay focused on peace, harmony, joy, well-being (and whatever is top on your list. It is a gift for ourselves and the person for whom we provide care when we take care of our own mental health, the quality of our own thinking.
