I am needing to fit in more activities for my own self care, self development and I am looking for some at home ideas. I'd like to try to do what I can from home to maintain a sense of self in all of this...maintain friendships as I can, family connections, stay fit and more positive while caring for a parent. Parent will go to day program 4 or so hours/ day but beyond that any ideas for caring for myself while caregiving. What do you do as a caregiver to care for yourself? What have you fit into your routine or what would you like to fit into your routine?
TED talks on the internet, to stimulate my mind. Amazing.
Knitting, I do baby hats and booties for the NICU at a hospital. quick projects, so I don't lose patience.
My husband is newly diabetic, so I am trying new recipes.That takes a bit of internet research.
And this Christmas, since there are no current health emergencies, I am trying to write each person in my life a very nice card, telling them how special they are...and if they are far away, some catch up news on our lives.
