As a caregiver, how do you time out for yourself? Do you take the time for some special days? If you have answered, “yes”, what are some of the activities you do on those special days? Is it a day when you call in someone to “take your place” with your caregiving responsibilities? Do you allow someone else to take your loved one to a regularly scheduled appointment? If your loved one takes naps during the day, what do you do during those naps? That would be the ideal time for sit and relax or even to catch up on a well-deserved nap for yourself. Do you think you should be doing something else while your loved one is preoccupied? To avoid unnecessary stress and burnout, take the time to do something you like. Perhaps it’s finishing the last chapter in that novel or completing yesterday’s newspaper or responding to emails. Remember, “Caregivers Need Care Too”.
