To celebrate the holidays, we’re gifting you with reminders to take care of yourself. This week, it’s all about you!
As caregivers ourselves, we know you’re pressed for time. You want to give those you take care of a joyful experience. Relive past holiday traditions with loved ones, if only momentary glimpses. Emotions run high. You’re stressed. Your patience is wearing thin. You know you have to take care of yourself first, but you’ve got conflicting priorities.
Giving your best to others begins with the gift of self-care.
