Are you among the many that find themselves with the responsibilities of caring for an elderly loved one?

Here are some intentions -- put in the positive, first-person present tense -- to help set your mind in the direction of being a gentle and loving caregiver on National Senior Citizens Day - and every day.

When your surroundings permit, read these affirmations aloud. You can also modify them to fit your situation and create new ones.

I am a gentle and loving caregiver.

I take good care of myself and others. When someone needs my compassion or a shoulder to lean on, I give those things freely. For myself and for others, I am a gentle and loving caregiver.

My supply of love and compassion is constantly growing because it comes from the Divine Source of all things. Therefore, I always have something to offer when others are in need. 

My friends and family come to me when they need someone to care for them because they know I am overflowing with abundant love.

If someone I care for has challenges in asking for what they want or need, I listen closely to my intuitive sense of what's right for them. Then, I ask them if my perception of their needs is accurate. Usually, it is, and when I have confirmed that, then I give them the love and care appropriate for them.

With all the resources available to me, I find myself with endless patience and compassion. This is especially true in regards to myself.

I am my own best advocate, so treating myself kindly is critical to my well-being. Therefore, I extend my gentleness and kindness not only to others, but also to myself.

Today, I commit to taking every opportunity to be good to myself and others. I am gentle and kind to all beings, and I take good care of those in my life.

I look into my heart daily for new ways to extend loving caregiving to those in need.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. How do I show love and compassion to my family?

2. Is there a person in my life who could benefit from more gentleness from me?

3. How can I go about showing kindness to that person today?
