A key 🗝 Ingredient for improving mental and emotional well-being is how we receive the words of others. If you’re a working family caregiver who wants to achieve improved emotional well-being, you might wonder how to not internalize toxic words projected not you. Today, I share this simple tip 💡 to help you take that first step... Imagine the person who causes you emotional distress is speaking in an alien language from outer space 🌌 . You don’t understand a word they’re saying. Look straight at them and know that they make no sense to you in the moment. When they don’t get a reaction, toxic talkers often give up and walk away. Can you see how using this tactic would be useful? Inside the upcoming The Caregiver Peaceful Path: Reframe-Recharge-Rebalance Group program, you’ll learn other valuable strategies like this, but you’ll also get the coaching, accountability, and support to implement them! Stay tuned 📺 as I share insights into client-based benefits.

Health is wealth and we all know that. But did you know that Docs won't make you healthy, teachers can't make you smart and trainers don't make you fit? The keys to your health, wealth, and safety are with you. It's important to take responsibility for your own and your loved ones' health, wealth, and safety. One of the keys to this responsibility is empathy. We all need psychological safety for ourselves, our families and our aged ones. Understanding others and their needs is key to ensuring their psychological safety. Let's prioritize our well-being and make sure we are taking care of ourselves and our loved ones. Remember, the keys are with you! #psychologicalsafety #understandingothers #wellbeing
