5 NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS FOR CAREGIVERS
2
PRIORITIZE YOUR OWN HEALTH
Generally, caregivers tend to be big- hearted
and willing to devote themselves towards the
well being of the person they are taking care
of. In the process, the caregiver's health takes
the backseat and often results in some greater
risk such as cancer, diabetes. It is important to
note that as a caregiver you can only take care
of others if you are fit and fine otherwise it
will not be possible for you.
3
GET MORE SLEEP
Sleep is an important part of your health.
Getting an adequate amount of sleep is necessary
to stay healthy. It is tough for caregivers to
get 7-8 hours of sleep but some way or the other
you have to try and add a little bit of extra
time for sleeping. Try to set your bedtime 15
minutes earlier than usual. This way you will be
able to add 15 more minutes to your sleep time.
Gradually increase the time this way and your
health will start improving.

GET 'ME' TIME
If you are a caregiver then having time for
yourself is rare. When you are not taking care
of any senior person, you are taking up other
responsibilities. In the process, you don't get
the all-important time for yourself. It is
important for you to take some time out from
your busy schedule as it is essential for your
health and well being.
5
SPEND SOME QUALITY TIME
Like many caregivers, you are busy all the time
taking care of your loved ones. You are taking
care of all the daily needs of your aging
parents but you are not really spending quality
time with them. While taking care of your loved
one, make sure to have a lot of fond memories
together. Plan a fun activity once a week so
that you can connect with your loved ones.
6
PLAN FOR THE FUTURE
It is a tough thing to accept but there will be
a day when you will no longer be able to provide
care for your loved ones. That can happen due
to your physical ability or the condition of
your loved one is out of your control. Planning
ahead will be helpful for you as it will save a
lot of time and stress.
