Make time to reflect and share your experiences to get better outcomes

Yaru – Hello!



This week I am privileged to be speaking with the aged care workforce about the experiments they are making for themselves regarding self-care.

The aged care staff I am currently working with are exhausted. They are working hard to provide care to older people who are at their last destination in their lives. These incredible people are providing care while living their own lives and navigating many obstacles sent their way by systems not constructed for support. Systems are not equipped to understand the complexities of caring for people at the last destination of life.

There is so much learning we can do from the aged care teams providing aged care in our systems; however, they are tired. 

My current goal in working with these incredible people is to listen to their stories and feelings and allow them to find their way to live more comfortably in their current situation. I have learned from these caring hordes that they are suffering from Compassion Fatigue. YET they have solutions, and amazingly they are willing to experiment with ideas to make their situations different.

Their efforts humble me.

They are experimenting with solutions and taking time to reflect on what they are noticing with changes they are making for themselves and their organisation. They are sitting with each other and, through great conversations sharing their reflections and learning about new ideas, things to try, and things to give up on….

They are working towards Compassion Satisfaction, and I am excited to see where this keeps going.

Share your experiences, people – learn from each other, and the complexities of your current world can seem lighter, and it can feel that you have more time and energy to enjoy what you are doing.
