Monday: Today write down what resources and supports you have that you can count on. It is easy to feel alone sometimes but once you see on paper all the different places you can turn to it will begin to ease the stress. If you feel like you do not have enough supports check out some of your local support groups.
Tuesday: Mary Poole said, "He who laughs, lasts" Take a moment and laugh today.
Wednesday: Organization is one thing that can help you reduce your caregiver stress. One thing that helps is to keep your loved one's information organized. Today create a medical journal for your loved one. Every time you go to the doctor with him or her take it with you and write down the information you receive from that appointment (i.e. medication changes, weight, lab results, etc.)
Thursday: If your loved one likes music take them out to Utica Square to listen to some great music. The best part is it's free!
Friday: Today take a moment and do something for yourself.
Saturday: Write about whatever is currently on your mind.
Sunday: Plan out next week's activities
