Caring for yourself is one of the most important things you can do as a caregiver. But often, caregivers prioritize the needs of others over their own. In recognition of International Self-Care Day, here are some practical tips you can use:
- Watch for signs of increasing stress like fatigue, loss of appetite, difficulty falling asleep, etc.
- Try stress-relieving activities including going for a walk, spend time with family and friends, participate in other social and recreational activities, etc.
In our recent webinar, Laura Jackson, a registered nurse and healthcare leader also helped caregivers identify ways to care for themselves. Watch the replay to learn tips for developing your own mindfulness routine.
