Be An Empowered Caregiver in 2009
I can't believe we are already in the 3rd day of the 2nd month of 2009. It is amazing how the minutes turn in hours and the hours turn into days and next thing you know the month is over and you are left wondering what just happened.
This is the life of a family caregiver. Hours are spent caring for your loved one and you lose track of time as it passes by. I want to encourage you as a fellow caregiver to make a "caregiving plan". Set a schedule on what needs to be accomplished and work according to the most important down to the least important. You will find that when you work off your plan you will accomplish your incomplete tasks and time will leave you in a whirlwind of overwhelm.
Remember that you must "take the oxygen first", so make sure you are at the top of the list to do something for you. This will reduce your feeling of frustration and stress because you are taking care of you as you take care of your loved one.
So take the step now to be an Empowered Caregiver and plan your schedule making self-care number one on your list.

Caregivers Care
As a caregiver, your generally pulled in multiple directions at all times. You are the last person on your list. Then, you start feeling overwhelmed and possibly ill. Well, it doesn't have to be that way.
Make yourself the priority at all times. You will be glad you did. Yes, there is the feeling of guilt if you take time to take care of yourself. Well, the feeling will pass, trust me. Remember you must take care of yourself in order to properly care for your loved one. So, take a breather. Do, my favorite thing, get a massage. Even a 30 minutes foot massage will do you wonders.
Go ahead take of you!
