Self-care Tips
We are blessed to have a team of leaders that provide remarkable care to the clients we serve each day. But we know it can be hard for a caregiver to care for themselves. Below are some quick tips that can help you take care of yourself so you can continue to provide the excellent care that our clients deserve!
Tips for a
Mindful Morning
- Take your time! Stretch for a few minutes before getting out of bed.
- Sit up tall, lengthen your spine, and take 5 slow, deep breaths.
- As you’re getting ready, sing or hum your favorite melody.
- Tune into your senses as you eat. Focus on colors, texture, flavors, and smells.
- Start a daily journal listing 3 things you’re grateful for.
Reducing Stress
Addressing sensory needs can help reduce stress. While there are many ways you can achieve this, one fun way is to build your own sensory bottle. In 2020, Damar set a GUINNESS WORLD RECORD for the most people making sensory bottles simultaneously. Watch the video here.
