Many family caregivers have a smaller social circle due to caregiving and feel alone during the vacation season. During these weeks the sun shines, but there is not always enough care, support, relaxation or distraction. In addition, the vacations may push you to the brink more. Informal care always goes on... However, everyone needs relaxation, fun and contacts. Therefore, we herewith give you some tips to find vacation spirit your way, without guilt! Rest and refuel.
Put yourself number one!
Put a cross in your calendar and make yourself important.
Make your family, friends, neighbors co-responsible for care.
Often there are one or two family members who do most of the caring. Share the need for relaxation. Can someone jump in at times? To whom can you shed some?
Do you have little time to get out and about?
Find it nearby: An ice cream at the market, go to a different supermarket, connect on a bench in the park, the library or on the terrace.
Enjoy small things and take pictures of them.
Dwell on beautiful flowers in the garden, a new outfit or a pampering moment together. Capture memories!
