Checking your caregiving Christmas lists is one thing you can do to ease stress and manage expectations as the holiday draws closer. Guest blogger Kathy Guzzo suggests checking your caregiving Christmas lists in at least three ways.<\/em><\/p>\n

December is filled with gathering with family, friends, and co-workers. It\u2019s shopping in crowds, caroling, homemade cookies, the smell of fresh pine Christmas trees, twinkling lights and jolly gift exchanges. But what if jolly isn\u2019t even close to how you\u2019re feeling and everything seems more like chores than events to enjoy? What if life has you feeling alone, misunderstood, frustrated, and sad? Sometimes the caregiving life is hard, and frustrating, and exhausting, but a few small steps can change your outlook.<\/p>\n

#1: Add Your Name to Your Gift List<\/h4>\n

Life with family members who need extra attention is chaotic and draining. In the midst of serving them, you need to make yourself a priority by putting yourself on your gift list. Be intentional, for as little as fifteen minutes a day, and do something for you. Write down five to ten things that have brought joy to you in the past or have been relaxing. Things like hot cocoa in front of a fire a drive to see the Christmas lights, or time out with a friend or loved one. The more demanding our lives are, the more crucial “me time” becomes. In the long run, it benefits your loved ones as well.<\/p>\n

\u00a0#2:\u00a0<\/span>Reduce Your Other Lists<\/h4>\n

Christmas is the season for lists, and those lists can be overwhelming. Instead of trying to check everything off your lists (other than your “me time” list), reduce them. Get rid of what\u2019s not important and what\u2019s not practical this year. Reassure yourself that it\u2019s okay not to do everything.\u00a0I<\/span>f you\u2019re really ready for fun, eliminate lists all together and do life as it happens, without the constraints lists put on us.<\/p>\n

#3: Examine Your Heart’s Wish List<\/h4>\n

The hustle, bustle, and busyness of December isn\u2019t the reason for Christmas. The purpose of Christmas is simple\u2013to celebrate the birthday of Jesus, the Messiah. He isn\u2019t going to judge us for not feeling jolly, for wanting to hibernate until the holidays are over.\u00a0He isn\u2019t interested in how much we accomplish or how many activities we attend in December or anytime through out the year. He\u2019s concerned with what our hearts need to make moments matter, and H<\/span>e\u2019s going to love us through it.<\/span><\/p>\n

What does He see on your heart\u2019s wish list?<\/p>\n

Peace?
Joy?
Comfort?
Hope?
Strength?
Courage?<\/p>\n

He\u2019s ready to give us\u00a0the peace He promises,\u00a0the joy of living,\u00a0the hope of miracles,\u00a0the strength He offers and much more.\u00a0Things not found in the constant craziness magnified at Christmas, but available to everyone as gifts from the One whose birth we\u2019re celebrating. By accepting the gifts of the heart He offers, you\u2019ll be able to move from being not okay to better each day.<\/p>\n

Kathy Guzzo and her husband live in Northern Illinois and have 4 adult children. One of her daughters was diagnosed with lupus and Epstein Barr Replication as a young adult. Another began struggling with depression and OCD in her mid-twenties. She understands the need for her daughters to be able to make their own decisions regarding their health, but the nurturer in her sometimes has a hard time letting go. She desires to direct others to the peace and hope that God has abundantly available for them.<\/em><\/p>[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=”4.4.2″][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.2″][et_pb_comments _builder_version=”4.4.2″ custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#42313A” button_bg_color=”#EBDCB2″][\/et_pb_comments][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_sidebar _builder_version=”4.4.2″][\/et_pb_sidebar][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.9.2″ use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_start=”#42313A” background_color_gradient_end=”#EBDCB2″ background_color_gradient_direction=”159deg” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px|false|false” border_width_all=”3px” border_color_all=”#1c1259″ saved_tabs=”all”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ _builder_version=”4.9.2″ width=”100%” max_width=”100%” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”25px|0px|5px|0px|false|false”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ module_class=”horizontal_optin_column_1″ _builder_version=”4.3.4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.2″ header_text_align=”right” header_text_color=”#45107a” header_3_font=”Dancing Script|700|||||||” header_3_text_align=”center” header_3_text_color=”#B4DBC0″ header_3_font_size=”45px” custom_margin=”10px||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false”]
