Tip for Week 6-

Let something be good enough.

Dinner can be sandwiches. The towels do not have to be folded perfectly. The dust can wait. Store-bought cookies are still cookies.

Caregivers often carry an impossible standard: provide excellent care while also keeping every other part of life running exactly as it did before.
Something has to give - and it does not have to be you.

Choose one thing this week and deliberately let "good enough" be good enough.

Self-care for the Caregiver Week 5:

Caregiving can quietly shrink your world.

Invitations become harder to accept, conversations revolve around medical updates and it becomes easy to lose touch with people who know you as more than a caregiver.

Text one friend this week. Have a ten-minute phone call. Share a cup of coffee if you can.
You don't have to entertain anyone or pretend everything is fine.

Stay connected to someone who remembers the whole you.

Self Care for the Caregiver

You do not need workout clothes, a fitness tracker or a three-mile walk.

Step outside for ten minutes. Sit on the porch. Walk to the mailbox. Feel the sun or the breeze. Listen to the birds. Look at something farther away than a medication bottle or a laundry basket.

A small change of scenery can give an overworked mind a brief reset.

Ten minutes is enough. And yes, sitting outside doing absolutely nothing counts.

Constitution Week Sept 17-24

09/16/2026

Caregivers become experts at keeping other people's appointments. Their own dental cleaning, annual physical, mammogram, eye exam or follow-up visit can quietly slide to the bottom of the list.

Choose just one overdue appointment this week and put it on the calendar.

You don't have to catch up on everything at once. One phone call counts.

Your health is not less important because someone you love needs you.

*Personal note. Ladies I cannot stress how important this is. I didn’t get my annual mammogram the final year I was my father’s caregiver. When I finally went, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

If I hadn’t put my mammogram off for a year, the cancer might not have been invasive yet. If I had put it off for longer, I might have had a higher stage diagnosis.

Make the appointment!
