Practices for Happy Caregivers
It is basic that a caregiver would prioritize senior’s happiness and comfort above their own but what others didn’t know is that both are important. If the caregiver would sacrifice his/her own happiness because it is their job, they may tend not to be any good to the seniors they are serving. Thus, caregivers also face stress and the risk of psychological and physical issues. Some negative effects that caregiving may come into include self-neglect, depression, family problems and so on.
Caregivers deserve to be happy and to take care of themselves as well. Here are some tips suggested for our dear caring companions:
1. Cherish your mind and body.
As senior helpers, seniors should see themselves replenished mentally and physically. Be involved in some exercises or any educational or relaxation activities.
2. Keep an eye on your health.
According to research, caregivers become sick because of certain health issues and some of them even die before the person they are taking care of.
3. Seek support.
Find time in a week to have talks with friends or family. It could help. Some might also consider asking a counselor to help sort out some disappointments.
4. Maintain a healthy diet.
A healthy diet keeps their energy levels and health conditions on the go. Since seniors need to eat healthy meals too, why not try to prepare healthy snacks such as variety of fruits and vegetables and enjoy eating it together.
5. Do some exercises.
Be sure to do exercise as your daily routine. Staying physically active helps reduce stress and improve good mood.
6. Meditate.
Think about some activities that will help you relax mentally or something that will slow you down and put things into perspective. Samples are like Yoga, deep breathing or listening to classical music.
7. Set personal goals.
Think about your personal goals and do some activities that will remind you about them. Thinking about what you want to achieve outside the job would help.
8. Prepare a your own journal.
Writing down your personal insights even if it is a negative one is a good way to release them. a journal is also good to write something that you accomplish in a day. Those may serve as your inspiration and your motivation for the next day.
9. Be grateful.
Caring for seniors not just bring challenges and stress but would also give you opportunity to make someone else’s life easier and more enjoyable.
10. Take a day off.
Taking a day off is very important to a caregiver so that they could take time to breathe and focus on themselves and their other goals in life.
The practice of a proper self care would make a happy caregiver which would help result in providing better care for others.
