"Preach the gospel at all times. If necessary, use words," St. Francis.
An amusing quote to underline the importance of our actions. Talk is irrelevant if not followed up by congruent action. Talk is also easier than action; that probably explains why people make so many plans, but fail to follow through with them. In providing caregiving for dementia it is important that we have an intention for how we want to "show up" minute by minute. But this intention is worthless if it is not followed by actions that are congruent with that intention. For myself, I find that having the intention to provide dementia caregiving graciously, is like a gps which enables me to have my actions follow that intention.
What works for you to enable your actions to be congruent with your intentions?
