JOIN US: Wednesdays’ Well of Wellness – Wellness Tips for Carers!

Caring for a loved one often means taking on new responsibilities. As rewarding as this may be, we need to remember our own self-care. We all know we can’t pour from an empty cup. So let’s take this opportunity to recharge our batteries!

 

Each week, we will be adding self-care tips to Wednesdays’ Well of Wellness.

 

Feel free to share your self-care tips too!

 

Together, let us draw from this Well of Wellness throughout the week so that we, as a community, can build up this support network in our Carers’ Corner.

As carers, what is something you can do today as part of your self-care?

 

Hope to hear from you.

You absolutely deserve it @Shaz51 !

@tyme @Shaz51 @ tonight it's playing with our cat, gardening and breathing consciously..

Re: JOIN US: Wednesdays’ Well of Wellness – Wellness Tips for Carers!

Hey @Stargirl !

 

Breathing is soooooo under-rated! I'm glad you have found the magic of BREATHING!

 

I used to hate being told to BREATHE....now, having understood the science, I absolutely vouch for it!

 

I appreciate all the care tips you have named there including pet/animal therapy, mindful gardening, and mindful breathing.

 

Good on you, @Stargirl !

I lost two rabbits over 2 consecutive weeks from COVID only recently (yes, it affects rabbits too!)

 

I was very upset at first, but my self-care was remembering all the good times, looking at photos and videos of them having fun, and remembering all the times they escaped out of their hutch - I had to go running down the street to get them!

 

We had so much fun 🙂

@tyme @Shaz51 sorry to hear about your rabbits. Thinking about the good times is a positive and good way to cope.

Walking very delicately this very moment, with a tricky caring action I need to do.  Take my son in for depot.  I do not like to do it, but have no choice.

@Shaz51 @tyme @Stargirl 

Choice can be over-rated.  Social contingencies are very real.

Cant come up with a better tip right now Apologies.
