I find that some days I can look after myself more easily than others. Today, I went to a fitness class, and it helped. This past year has been a struggle, and I generally feel depleted. I still have awhile longer in this caregiving situation, and want to make a greater effort to do something to enhance my well-being every day.
You’re on the right track by exercising. You will feel so much better being physically active.
I am no longer a caregiver for my parents. The stress of caregiving definitely takes a toll on us.
Music always helps me to unwind. Doing fun things with my friends and family brings me joy.
I love to cook and I am trying my hand at growing green peppers.
I make jewelry and enjoy sewing. I am addicted to certain podcasts. It seems like there are podcasts on any topic that we are interested in. I listen to them when I soak in the tub or in the kitchen cooking.
My neighbor and I have agreed to exchange information in order to look out for each other, and we're meeting soon to do that.
Baby steps.
