Perseverance and Options

"The key to perseverance is having enough patience to keep trying options until we get what we want."    Rev Dr Judy Morley

Considering one's options is an important element of good mental health.  A wise therapist many years ago told me that to be practicing good mental health, one should always consider at least 3 options in any given scenario.  If one way does not work, try another.  A social skill I used to teach and later published within a book on social skills was to try another way, if the way one tried did not work out.  Try another way.  How can this apply to caregiving?  I think we must have the time to have the clarity of mind to consider if there is any other, better way to do any aspect of caregiving.  If something is stressful and/or not working, consider how else it might be done.
