TeaTime with JEN; Help, how do I care for myself?

Join me for a bit of random rambling thoughts regarding how to prioritize myself as a patient while being the caregiver. Need your suggestions, ideas, any methods...
Tomorrow will be a better day. Be well, Jen

You are a true inspiration ❤️

I wish I had some words to help, other than you know you have good friends nearby that are happy to be there for anything you need. (HUG)

Agree. We are blessed with family and close friends. ❤️🤟🤗

I should have ideas for you unfortunately I don't. Being we are in very similar situations (yet of course different) been trying to think what I do. Maybe you can wake an hour earlier so you have a bit of quiet time alone... DON'T get up and do anything. Read(?) grab that breakfast prepared the night before (?) just lay there and stretch (?). Just value the time alone, ahhh, the quiet! Considering your VERY busy life and juggling around your necessary responsibilities is tough stuff. Does you tube fulfill you (certainly does us). Take a break from you tube .... MAYBE!?! We are that many more people you are helping... vs yourself! Have seen others have to take a break. (I have ZERO idea what it takes to do a video). Just some thoughts! I listen to all your videos so I would love to do for you too. Hopefully some food for thought. Keep your smile! 🌺

I'm sorry that you're in a similar situation. While the hour earlier is generally a good idea, right now I need ALL the sleep I can get to help heal my body. My daily 1 minute videos take 10 - 20 minutes. Videos like TeaTimes and Cancer Survivor Tips take 1 - 2 hours in total. When I'm overwhelmed these videos do become more spaced out... I'm so thankful that you listen to all my videos. Thank you. & Thank you for your suggestions. Be well, Jen
