Welcome to another episode of Breathe In, Breathe Out. In today's episode, we delve into the empowering concept of choice and how it plays a pivotal role in our lives, whether we acknowledge it or not. We dive deep into understanding the dynamics of choice and its implications in shaping our lives. We unravel the cloak of victim mentality and learn how we are indeed the masters of our lives, not mere puppets to circumstance. Life continues to throw choices our way, and how we react to those crossroads defines our very existence. Throughout today's podcast, we explore the concept of active participation in our lives through the consistent choices we make - small or big. We were brought up to believe that the world happens to us, but the truth is, it happens for us, it happens through us because of the choices we make every day. Incorporating the concepts of mindful caregiving, I reflect on my personal experiences and share insights on the empowering aspects of embracing caregiving roles. Caregiving, like any other aspect of life, also involves making mindful choices. We also deeply discuss the crucial aspect of self-care and the beneficial impacts of choosing ourselves over others when necessary because no one else knows our stories, our pasts, and our traumas. _______________________ FIRST TIME HERE?
