Caring For Your Own Needs
As hard as you are working to care for someone else, it is really important to remember that you have needs too.
It can be physically and emotionally. It is all too easy to put your own needs at the bottom of the priority list.
Allow time for you
You cannot do everything, nor should you expect it of yourself—recognize what you can and can't do and set priorities. Allow yourself some leisure time to rest, relax, and be yourself.
Stay healthy
It is just as important that you look after your own health. Try and avoid letting yourself get run down. Moderate exercise, even just taking a walk, helps your body relax. Put exercising, or at least going out once a week, down on your checklist of things to do.
Take a break
If you think you need a holiday, you probably do. Take it and realize that you deserve a break.
