As caregivers, we often feel like we’re living in a constant state of overwhelm. On Day 5 of the Empowered Caregiving Challenge, I talked about one of the biggest reasons for this: caregiving is an undefined role. It pulls us in so many directions—physical tasks, emotional support, logistics, medical decisions—without clear boundaries or guidelines. It’s like trying to bowl on a wide-open floor with pins scattered everywhere. How do you aim? How do you succeed?
For me, the early days of caregiving were all about adding more to my to-do list, thinking I just needed to push harder.
That worked—until it didn’t.
I learned that caregiving requires more than physical energy; it takes mental, emotional, and even spiritual energy. Without clear priorities or boundaries, we end up reacting to every demand and questioning if we’re doing anything well.
The solution lies in defining the role for ourselves. Who do you want to be as a caregiver? What values are most important to you right now?
When you take time to clarify these, you create lanes for yourself, making it easier to focus on what matters most and feel successful, even in challenging moments.
