Remember, Never Forget You!

Happy New Year! A new year means a new beginning. Often, being a caregiver or someone who is cared-for can be a trying experience. You spend much of your time worrying about others while forgetting to focus on yourself. This year, make a promise to add yourself to that growing to-do list! When you take care of you, it makes taking care of other things a whole lot easier!

Here are some easy ways to incorporate yourself into your busy days:

• Spend quality time with loved ones
• Meditate
• Read a book
• Listen to music
• Start a gratitude journal
• Take a walk/roll around the block
• Schedule a BFF date
• Learn a new recipe
• Perform a random act of kindness
• Moisturize your skin
• Sit down for your morning coffee and enjoy every.single.sip
• Take a long bath
• Apply a facial mask
• Light a candle
• Dance!
• Look at the stars
• Play cards
• Take deep breaths
• Put together a puzzle
• Stretch your body
• Keep the TV off and your phone out-of-reach
• Go to bed 30 minutes earlier than usual
• Spend 15 minutes in silence just focusing on your own thoughts and breathing
• Unfollow people and groups on social media that DO NOT inspire you
• Drink a cup of tea

Please promise to never forget about YOU! That is one simple goal that is sure to take you far this year.
