“Balancing Self-Care as We Care For Others”

You cannot care for others over time without caring for yourself first. If the caregiver’s self-care is neglected, their immune system is compromised, and this can cause a decline in health. Bottom line: Carve out time for yourself as caregiver and when you do, enjoy that time “in the present moment”. Then, your caregiving can be sustainable, and everyone benefits. It is much easier to give care when your cup is full.
