The fear of contracting COVID-19 can put a lot of stress on anyone, let alone someone caring for a loved one. How caregivers deal with this stress can be essential in the way they care for others.
Some caregivers prefer to exercise, others turn to gardening, or meditation, and other relaxation methods.
Whatever you choose, the goal is to take care of yourself so that you can care for someone else. But how you care for yourself and do a good job of caring for your loved one?
Our guest on this week’s AARP Texas Prepare to Care podcast is Melissa Smith-Wilkinson with Caregiver Wellness Retreat. She is ready to talk about mindfulness and our willingness to relax, and the benefits of taking a breather.
