It is in the moment where our stories are created. The stories we tell ourselves drives how we feel, respond, and support each other. As caregivers, we are faced with challenging situations, families and other staff that cause stress, anxiety, and burnout. What if we could change the story in the moment and replace frustration and judgement with compassion and grace?
Learning objectives
- Understand the importance of mindfulness, connection, and perspective of the stories we tell ourselves, situations, and each other
- Gain perspective on what self compassion looks like and feels like, and the impact it has on the stories we tell ourselves and how we respond. When we can learn to be more compassionate to ourselves, we automatically are more compassionate to others
- Learn how to use the tools of “Today’s Life Impact Scale” and the "5 Second Rule," to change the stories we tell ourselves, therefore, changing our reactions we have to tough situations
