Care for Yourself and Your Austin Senior During The Holidays
The holidays are by far the easiest time of year for anyone to get stressed, including caregivers. Every day life already is stressful, so when the holidays come around, it’s no secret that one may become more overwhelmed rather easily. Amidst this whirlwind season, the temptation is to create or encourage bad or harmful habits and behaviors. For example, many people may turn to drinking to cope with the holiday stress.
Others may give into their sweet tooth and eat more sugar, sleep and exercise less. When habits like this form, our emotions heighten and our defenses go down, making our reaction to both negative and positive situations become more intensified. To help curb these habits and emotions and focus on the joy of the season, give yourself some grace, and remember to enjoy yourself as you care for your Austin senior loved one.
