“I was his caregiver. Who will take care of me?” asked my younger sister. She had just received a diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma. After years of caring for her declining husband, she faced a serious health crisis of her own. As I listened to her voice on that long distance call, I volunteered to be her caregiver. Sisters help each other.
Caregiving calls on you to dig deep within yourself and give all you’ve got without expectation of return. However, caregiving need not be so altruistic that your life and career are sacrificed. Remember the admonitions of all those flight attendants to secure your own oxygen mask before helping anyone else?

Glancing at the clock, Jill notices that she has less than a half hour to finish her presentation for tomorrow morning’s meeting before racing home to begin her second shift of carpooling, cooking, and cleaning. Co-worker Gary suddenly peeks into her office and asks for help with his piece of the presentation. Jill immediately finds herself blurting out, “No problem,” instead of speaking her truth and saying “No.” Why do we say yes when we really want to say no?

Up until the last fifty years, women were largely excluded from universities, professions, clubs, politics, and jobs, even from written history. The paucity of their life choices undoubtedly impoverished the quality of their lives, but their roles, constricted though they were, were clearly delineated.
The feminist movement, advances in reproductive biology, cultural changes such as the increased divorce rate, and the economic forces that necessitate the two-income family have all disrupted the traditional roles assigned to women.

Think about how often you sit down without disruption and intentionally relax. Many people don’t even know when they are feeling stressed because they are so used to it. Stress typically causes physical or emotional symptoms. It may be an acceleration of heart rate, perspiration, headache, stomachache, shallow breathing, tight neck and shoulders, crying, etc. In order to reduce stress in your life, you first need to understand what it is. Some stress is unavoidable in life and can even be productive. The kind of stress that is uncomfortable, rather than motivating, is the source of energy drains. Negative stress is easily recognized if you are in touch with how your body feels.
