The approaching holiday season is stressful anyway, but with your concerns, worries and caregiving responsibilities, the stress can be overwhelming. Every year we are able to enjoy a holiday season with our family is a blessing. Walking, in particular, is a great way to release your pent-up frustrations. If your care recipient is able, you might want to include him or her in your daily walk. In the winter, when the snow flies and the wind howls, take cover at your local mall.
Many malls open early in the morning to accommodate local walkers.
For instance, plan on a daily break of perhaps a half hour, spent on an activity you enjoy. Then, plan a weekly activity, such as a trip to the library. A monthly break could be a night out with friends. A yearly break could be a family vacation. Regular breaks during the holiday season are a must.
