Monday: Today I want you to think about the major stressors in your life and write them down. After making a list of what stresses you, look over it and think about what it is you can do to help minimize your stress. Many times we create stress ourselves, so we can eliminate it ourselves as well.
Tuesday: Too often as a caregiver we are so concerned about the person's well being we are caring for that we begin to stop taking care of ourselves. Do something for yourself today. This can be making a nice healthy meal for yourself today instead of eating out, taking your time getting ready and not rushing, exercising, etc.
Wednesday: Today I want you to think of an activity that would be fun for you and your loved one to do together.
Thursday: Wayne Sotile said, "There will be enough time to do it all but not all at once." Take a few minutes to think about this quote and write down how it makes you feel and take a few minutes to prioritize and decide what you can accomplish today.
Friday: Today I want you to think of a time when you were frustrated and what you did to calm yourself down. Write down what it was and next time you are feeling frustrated do that activity to calm yourself down. This could be counting to ten, taking deep breaths, talking to a friend, etc.
Saturday: Go outside today and enjoy nature.
Sunday: Write out your activities and errands you need to get done next week.
