JOIN US: Wednesdays’ Well of Wellness – Wellness Tips for Carers!

Caring for a loved one often means taking on new responsibilities. As rewarding as this may be, we need to remember our own self-care. We all know we can’t pour from an empty cup. So let’s take this opportunity to recharge our batteries!

Each week, we will be adding self-care tips to Wednesdays’ Well of Wellness.

Feel free to share your self-care tips too!

Together, let us draw from this Well of Wellness throughout the week so that we, as a community, can build up this support network in our Carers’ Corner.

No matter how little or much you are involved in your loved one’s care, we thank you and appreciate all your support!

Hi @Shaz51

Thank you for your warm welcome.

There are some great tips in this thread - and I love that there is a space to support and encourage carers who also need support and looking after.

Just knowing you are not alone and there is support is so important. It is not something I had when I began to be a carer 20 years and in hindsight I know it would have helped me so much. Just having someone to chat to that has walked a similar path would have made such a difference.

Best wishes,

FloatingFeather

Hi Friends!

I thought this week, we could hone in our focus on finding the 6 hidden words in each picture. I like to use this to help me feel a sense of achievement at the end of a not-so-pleasant task.

Picture 1 - Find 6 hidden words

Picture 2 - Find 6 hidden words

Picture 3 - Find 6 hidden words

HI @tyme,

Thanks for sharing this mindful activity - I really did help distract me, bring me into the present and focus on something that was fun :).

Anything with hidden words or missing objects is up my alley.

Best wishes,

FloatingFeather

Super work @Shaz51 . I find it a good distraction to do these puzzles 🙂 And they are not too brainpower-intense LOL.

Hope you had an okay day today after your trip yesterday. Did you phone in to see how Mum was?

That's really impressive @Shaz51 - you should be proud of yourself. Hope you enjoyed the activity as much as I did.

How are you going? How's Mr Shaz and your mum?

Hope you are well and the day is treating you kindly.

Best wishes and hugs,

FloatingFeather
