Most of us understand that the rewards of nurturing our own well-being accrue to everyone around us. Unfortunately, as caregivers, we sometimes feel like we can’t take time for ourselves because there are so many things we just haven’t gotten to yet or think we “should” be doing! But we truly need to focus our energy and resources on what will sustain us throughout the caregiving journey. Taking care of an ill or aging loved one is a marathon — not a sprint! Join us for this webinar where we'll explore 1) helpful practices for preserving your energy, nourishing your spirit, and preventing burnout, 2) tips for fitting self-care into an already packed schedule, and 3) strategies for managing guilt and other emotions that often accompany being a caregiver.
