One of the caregivers in our local support group shared this recent New York Times article on self-care. If you can get beyond the title, she thought the article shared some good suggestions.
Those suggestions include:
- “Finding places where you can have space for yourself to reflect and think and feel.”
- Meditation. Even five minutes a day.
- Toast your confinement with a cocktail/mocktail party.
- Keeping a gratitude, or “silver lining,” list, which you can either do yourself or as an activity with your family.
