Monday: Do a creative activity today. Tapping into your creative side can be very relaxing and calming.
Tuesday: What did you do for yourself last week? Write it down and how it made you feel. If you didn't do anything for yourself last week, make sure you take time this week to do something for you.
Wednesday: Are you still affectionate with your loved one? Do you give him/her hugs? Pat their back? Hold their hand? Often it is easy to overlook these things as we focus more on caretaking, but being affectionate is very important.
Thursday: Write down your favorite moment from last week that you shared with your loved one. How did it make you feel?
Friday: When was the last time you cried? Crying can be a great emotional release if you have a tendency to bottle up your emotions. Sometimes we don't know why we are crying, but that's ok it is an emotion that everyone needs to feel from time to time.
Saturday: Take your loved one to the art museum. This has been said to be a relaxing activity to those with Alzheimer's and Dementia. Everyone has an opinion when they see an art piece, and the great thing about opinions is that there is no wrong answer.
Sunday: Organize and prioritize next week's activities
