This week, Rayna Neises, your host, talks with Elizabeth Miller.  Elizabeth is a busy wife, mom, full-time employee, caregiver, and consultant.  She helps other family caregivers through her consulting service, podcast, book, and support group.  She is the author of ‘Just for You: A Daily Self-Care Journal’.  She shares how to integrate self-care and other insights:

• Integration - figuring out how to mesh it all together like a good soup.
• You can be a great caregiver and you can also take care of yourself.  It is not an either-or situation.
• Self-care for caregivers looks different.  It is using the 5 to 10 minutes you are given and maximizing your time.
• Everybody else around you will be happier and healthier when you are happy and healthy.  
• Using a daily self-care journal can help get back to a daily intention and help shift your mindset.
• There are many aspects of self-care (physical, spiritual, mental, emotional, and practical) and it helps to hit them all.
• Find support from others in all types of interest groups.
• Sprinkle some fun into your year with a ‘21 in 2021’ list of things you would like to do/learn.  The list gives you permission to take time to accomplish these goals, have fun, and check it off!
