Rayna Neises, ACC, host, reflects on thoughts shared during last week’s interview with Nicole Dauz.  Nicole has a great attitude about self-care and a good understanding of the necessity of it.  She provided tips on how to normalize self-care and this week Rayna expands on those and adds more ways to embrace and think about self-care.

• Think about what brings you joy!
• Self-care is about meeting your own needs, so you must stop and ask daily, “What do I need?” and then find a way to act.
• Think about who you need on your care team to help you find the time to take care of yourself.
• Find friends and family who help you escape the reality of your caregiving and put you in a different place.
• Check out the support available online.
• You are doing your best and guilt is not solving the problem.
• Make the shift to be in the moment.
• Join the 5 Day/15 Minute Self-Care Challenge at ASeasonofCaring.com/selfcarechallenge. It starts on Monday, August 16th and runs through Friday, August 20th!
