The holiday season is behind us, and we are getting back to the reality of life. If we had a chance as caregivers to forget who we are, what we have to do, and how to be the best for our loved ones who have a neurological disorder, time moves forward.
Join us for tips on how you can overcome the often stressful times and create a beautiful and meaningful experience, even starting new traditions and looking forward to a new year. So, with optimism and faith that all can be better in our lives while caring for our impaired loved ones, we ask you to join our group each month from 10 a.m. to noon in the SaddleBrooke One Arts & Crafts Center, Room 4.
We meet the second Saturday of each month, with future dates being March 9, April 13, and May 11.
We encourage you, the caregiver, to be physically and emotionally well by doing what will not only help you maintain your health but will so much improve your attitude toward your loved one. So, please:
1. Breathe.
2. Drink lots of water.
3. Nourish your body with healthy choices.
4. Sleep: Try to get five to six hours, if not eight hours of sleep.
5. Move your body: Do some exercise each day while preparing a meal—jump or stretch as an example.
6. It’s equally important to take a break. It’s important to have your time. Ask a friend to stay an hour or two with your loved one.
7. Join Senior Village: Call 520-314-1042 to help you with items to be fixed, shopping, and so much more.
Remember, “Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.” —Harriet Beecher Stowe
