• R – Relaxation, Rejuvenate and Refresh: Taking a walk, strolling leisurely, exercise or whatever brings you joy can calm a caregiver.
• E – Energy: To be effective in their own work, a caregiver must have time to re-energize. Even an automobile won’t run on empty.
• S – Space: Getting away from the care giving situation for even a few hours helps with relaxation and brings a renewed sense of purpose.
• P – Pleasure: A caregiver must remember that they have the right to enjoy life even if they feel their care recipient cannot do the same.
• I – Identity: A caregiver must be intentional in maintaining a sense of self.
• T – Time: A caregiver needs time away from the situation to see it more clearly and upon return, adjustments can be made to improve the experience.
• E – Engagement: Social isolation can be a huge problem for caregivers. It’s important to take time to engage with friends and family.
