Weekly Caregiver Activities

Now that you have your journal and have done your first entry let's get to the next activity. Each week I will post a week's worth of activities for you to do. You can do as many or as few as you want, and can change the order to fit your schedule if necessary.

Tuesday- Do something today that you love to do, but have not had as much time to do lately. This can be going on a walk, reading a book, etc. Afterward take a few moments to write about how you feel.

Wednesday-Write down what you have learned about yourself during your caregiver experience. This can be positive or negative.

Thursday-Mary Poole said, "He who laughs, lasts." So take some time to experience something today that makes you laugh.

Friday- Call a friend today that you have not gotten to talk to much lately.

Saturday- Go outside and take a walk. Enjoy the sun.

Sunday- Take five minutes and just write down what you are feeling at that moment. Putting your feelings on paper is a nice release.


I hope these small exercises reduce any stress you may be experiencing.
