Carers - Self Care Tips

You are doing your best each and everyday.

Learn to live one day at a time. Worrying about tomorrow ruins today. Worrying about yesterday ruins today.

You will deal with the problems of tomorrow, tomorrow.

I don’t think about tomorrow it’s just what must be done today.

Remind myself everyday, this is not forever, nothing lasts forever. Just have to ride this storm.

Make sure you have something to look forward to every week. Lunch out, movie, coffee with a friend.

Make sure everyday you do something that makes you happy, watch the sunset, eat an ice-cream, listen to your favourite song, have a bath, watch your favourite tv show or movie. Have a rest. Do a crossword, read trashy magazines. Very important.

Learn and accept you can’t do all the things you want to do.

Do what you can and the rest can wait.

I don’t iron, clothes iron on you, creases fall out with your body heat. Too tired. Mum used to complain about her crinkly clothes but she’s used to it now. Have started a new fashion trend the crinkle cut look.
