Commit to self-care November 20, 2009, 12:57 PM
We’re getting to the end of the week – have you taken five minutes for yourself yet?  As a caregiver you’re at higher risk of depression and burnout and that’s why self-care is essential – even if it comes in five minute increments. Here are a few suggestions: close your eyes and do some deep breathing, take two minutes (literally) and do a few yoga stretches, put on the kettle and make yourself a cup of tea or reach for a nice tall glass of water. Find what works for you and commit to taking a break – you’re worth it!
