Take care of yourself as you care for others with this accessible, easy-to-follow self-care guide to relax and rejuvenate.
It’s been said that there are only four kinds of people in the world: those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will become caregivers, and those who will need caregivers. Chances are you or someone you know is taking care of a loved one at home. If you do, you also know that caregiving–however fulfilling–is also hard on the caregiver’s mental and physical health. Self-care is vital to caregivers maintaining stamina and a positive outlook for both themselves and the people they care for. But being so busy caring for others can make it hard to find time for yourself. In Self-Care for Caregivers, you’ll find short, easy-to-read–and often easy-to-do–ways to replenish your mind, body, and spirit, including:-Practicing mindfulness by focusing in on your five senses
-Remembering to HALT to check if you’re hungry, angry, lonely, or tired
-Making a gratitude list of at least three things you’re grateful for
-And much more! Full of practical advice and reminders to have a quick snack, call a friend, create a sanctuary, write in a journal, and more ways to take care yourself–plus resources for caregiving–this book will go a long way towards making your caregiving experience a happier and more healthful one for you and the people you care for.
