Meditation

"Meditation fires up the frontal areas of the brain that are associated with attention.  That means you'll be less likely to focus on feeling stressed or down, and more able to concentrate on tasks at hand." Dr. Small, Harvard University

Another endorsement of meditation as an antidote to stress.  A very important consideration for us who are caregivers.  Another study from Sweden showed that women who were under frequent stress had a 65% greater risk of developing Alzheimer's Disease.  So, we have yet another good reason to practice methods that help us cope with stress.  Exercise, prayer, nutrition, sufficient sleep, fun and meditation are all effective ways to help us deal with the stress of caregiving.  Let us be sure to implement these in our lives.  You are worth it.
