It’s true: laughter is strong medicine. It draws people together in ways that trigger healthy physical and emotional changes in the body. Laughter strengthens your immune system, boosts mood, diminishes pain, and protects you from the damaging effects of stress. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hope, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert. It also helps you release anger and forgive sooner. If you or someone you know needs a "Professional Family Member", call Complete Care Strategies at 610-265-4300. #ALCA #CompleteCareStrategies #CareManager #Caregiver #RN #SocialWork #womeninbusiness #stayinformed #aging #agingparents #eldercare #helpforaging #agingexperts https://lnkd.in/eGUqu8Y

May is Stroke Awareness Month! 🌟 As a caregiver, it's crucial to understand that atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a leading preventable cause of stroke, responsible for 1 in 5 strokes. While AFib itself may not be preventable, strokes resulting from it can be. Encourage your loved one to manage their AFib with the right treatments and lifestyle changes. To prevent complications like stroke and heart failure, don't let AFib go untreated. Stay informed and keep your loved ones safe! 💙 #StrokeAwareness #AFib #Caregiving https://lnkd.in/gq3DXnHM

Award-Winning Personal Resilience Practitioner, Coach, Facilitator | Chronic Illness Patient & Caregiver | Repair & Prevent Burnout | Proactive Resilience | Speaker | Podcast Guest
Myth or Fact Physical muscles are the only muscles you can strengthen. ---------- Myth. Just like physical muscles, the more we use the seven resiliency muscles in the Prosilience framework, the stronger and more balanced they become. Taking a look at our resiliency muscles, we may find we have one or two dominant muscles and a few we seldom use. It's most efficient and effective to have seven well-balanced muscles and not overuse just one as a go-to in times of disruption. Overusing one specific muscle means we're leaning too heavily on it and atrophying others. This bring us out of balance and possibly diminishes resiliency thus creating more stress and energy drain in life. We can easily develop a workout plan for our resiliency muscles to better support us just as we do for our physical muscles. #patient #patientlife #chronicillness #chronicdisease #chronicdiseasemanagement #lifethreateningchronicillness #lifethreateningdisease #transplant #kidneytransplant #kidneytransplantrecipient #dialysis #pediatricbraintumor #pediatriccancer #caregiver #caregiversupport #challenges #proactiveresilience #resilience #lifecoaching #resiliencecoach #bechallengeready #challengeaccepted #workout #muscles #fitness
