It’s Time to Take Care of YOU
One of the most important jobs of being a caregiver is taking care of yourself. It is so easy to get caught up in the needs of others and to overlook your own. We have to be at our best to care at our best.
Caregiver burnout can lead to exhaustion, increased risk for depression, poor eating habits, sleep deprivation, and increased health problems. It is important to ask for help when needed. Don’t be afraid to call a friend, neighbor, or agency to help you with daily tasks. Even small things such as going to the grocery store or taking a short stroll around the block can give you the energy and clarity you need to make it through the day.
