The news about the Coronavirus (COVID19) has been a bit concerning. A former colleague of mine, who has been working on the containment of the virus here in the U.S. recently sent me this advice:

8 CE 19

• Avoid unnecessary travel.

Practice good hygiene and chances are you’re more likely to contract the flu than this virus.

So don’t be afraid. Get out there, enjoy your time with friends and family, and wash your hands regularly!

Thank you for your support of The Grand Season, and all of our local advertisers!

GROWTH

PURPOSE DRIVEN

What’s direction are you going?

People think they will feel fulfilled when they check off their list: getting married, having kids, buying a certain house, getting a boat, reaching a certain title or profit level in their business, but happiness doesn’t come from money and success.

What truly moves you and how can you turn that passion into a fulfilling mission in life? Everyone’s different, so here are some common strategies that can lead you to your unique goal. Start by asking yourself these key questions:

1. As a child and back in your younger days, what experiences were the most memorable?

What pastimes did I find most fulfilling? Make a list of everything that gave you pleasure as a kid and teenager.

Maybe it was playing basketball or guitar. Start small and resume those activities. Then, once you rediscover that passion, look for a way to use it to help others. Maybe you can volunteer to coach a basketball league for underprivileged kids.

2. What are my core values and beliefs?

It sounds like a simple question, but it’s far from it. You can accept certain values, because you’ve been taught they’re important, but sometimes they don’t work for you. Start by making a list of values you think are important. They may include everything from integrity to friendship, faith to humor, patience to spontaneity. Then rank each on a scale of 1 to 10. All values are good, but understanding which are most important to you will help you understand what will give your life meaning.

3. What goals should I set for myself?

Take stock of each segment of your life, and write down what you visualize as the ultimate goal in each area. Include your career, family, health, relationships, spirituality and travel desires. Ask yourself: What would my best health look like? Who are the people I most want to spend time with?

What do I most want to change? If you don’t understand and set your own goals, you will end up living someone else’s.

4. What do I want my legacy to be?

The ultimate question for anyone considering how to make a greater contribution to his or her world: How do I want to be remembered by those whose lives I touch? A simple way to get to this answer is to write your own obituary.

Sometimes referred to as an “autobituary,” it’s a chance for reflection that also forces you to realize that your time is limited and to take a hard look at the way you’re spending it.

CARING

TAKING CARE OF LOVED ONES

Navigating the challenges

As the population of older U.S. adults grows, more Americans are taking on long-term caregiving duties for loved ones. An estimated 43.5 million adults in the U.S. have provided unpaid care in the past 12 months, according to AARP. “While caregiving presents many opportunities for growing strong bonds with loved ones, the work itself can be demanding, eventually taking a toll on those shouldering the burden,” says Lakelyn Hogan. Hogan shares the following tips to navigate the challenges.

Use online resources To fully advocate for your loved one, it’s necessary to understand his or her medical conditions and the specific areas where extra help is needed. Doing so will help you secure support services, get information from doctors, ensure medications are being administered safely and even help you make appropriate meal and transportation arrangements. Most reputable sources

of condition-specific information can also double as a place for finding care and support.

Search for innovative tools Innovative companies are taking note of the needs of caregivers, and are designing everyday products to help them make daily tasks easier and more comfortable for all involved. In the realm of personal care, this trend is especially important: personal care activities were identified in an AARP survey as among the most challenging daily activities to manage.

Make space for yourself Prioritizing your own health and happiness is critical. After all, if your health suffers, it could make it impossible for you to continue caregiving. Rely on family and friends or a part-time professional to step in and give you a chance to recharge. Use the personal time to read, journal, exercise, take a nature walk, visit your doctor or simply meet with friends. You may also benefit from joining a caregivers’ support group. Luckily, social media has made it simple for people to find one another and connect. While the roles and responsibilities of caregiving vary, leveraging the resources designed to universally assist caregivers can help you navigate the many challenges of daily life.
