Finding the Balance Between Work and Caregiving
Make time for you every day. Do what works for you. Spend time with friends and family members, or participate in a group. Spend time alone.

Don't let a day go by that you don't include things that are important to you. If you are completely stressed out, you'll be no good at work or at caregiving.

Your attitude can be the biggest barrier to taking care of yourself and doing the best job for a loved one.

Get enough sleep. It’s easier if you avoid alcohol, caffeine, nicotine and heavy meals near bedtime and try to take a hot bath before going to sleep.

Taking a Time Out
Before frustration boils over, head it off with an activity to help you calm down. Count to 10 slowly or take a few deep breaths. If possible, take a brief walk or go to another room to collect your thoughts. Try calling a friend, praying, meditating, singing, listening to music or taking a bath.
