Think about
all the professional caregivers who in some way touch your life. What do you
know about your medical or naturopathic doctor, life coach, chiropractor,
personal trainer, therapist, dentist, etc.? In what shape is his or her life?
Studies show that it is impossible for people to function up to their full
potential if they do not maintain work / life balance, time for total renewal,
and on-going self-nurturing. Knowing how your professional caregivers handle
these challenges is therefore both relevant and important to their quality of
care.
I'm sure you've heard of or perhaps you even go to a professional caregiver who carries
an extremely heavy patient or client load, allowing very little room for
work/life balance. Their work load might require you to wait for an hour or more
after you arrive for a scheduled appointment. I challenge you to consider the
negative impact that that heavy load may be having not only on the professional
caregiver but also on you.
Does your professional caregiver's life include regular exercise, time with
friends and family, time for personal renewals like regular vacations and/or
meditation, or on-going professional development, to name a few? Do you even know
the answers to those questions? If not, it may be time to ask some personal
questions of your professional caregivers so you can receive the best possible
care.
Next week, I'll share with you a little bit about the lives of some of my
professional caregivers. In the meantime, I invite you to ask your professional
caregivers some questions so you can begin to determine if they have the
capacity to perform at their best when they touch your life. If you are a professional
caregiver, I challenge you to consider the following questions for yourself as you
seek to be the best you can be in your work with others.
Coaching Inquiries: Do your professional caregivers maintain a healthy body
weight? What are they doing to pursue total physical health? What habits do they
maintain to keep their mental, emotional, and spiritual health in check? What
boundaries do they have to maintain a work / life balance of their choosing?
What on-going self-nurturing and renewal habits do they practice?
