Who are caregivers? This book is intended not just for the typical caregivers but also for a whole realm of people who care for others. A caregiver can be many things, such as a parent, teacher, nurse, doctor, pharmacist, therapist, practitioner, coach, trainer, an individual who provides regular direct care for a family member or a friend, someone who works in a care facility, employee, business owner and or anyone needing to make time for self-care. A caregiver may also be a person that cares for those with health conditions such as - Parkinson's disease, Autism, Developmental disabilities, Alzheimer's disease, Traumatic brain injury, Dementia, Spinal cord injuries, Mental health issues, Dissociative identity disorder, Psychiatric disorders, and More. Why a self-care journal for caregivers? For caregivers to successfully help those under their care, they need to provide themselves with self-care. If they are not taking care of their physical, emotional, and mental health, they will not be as equipped to serve others. This journal will provide caregivers with the needed channel to document their own self-care journey and provide inspiration and internal peace. In addition, using this journal for 60 days will give caregivers accountability to themselves. We know that when we repeatedly repeat actions for a prolonged period of time, it becomes a routine. Self-care is a routine that is non-negotiable, and this journal will set the tone for the present and future healthy you. Give yourself grace. You don't have to do it all, be it all & or know it all. You don't have to compare yourself to others or live up to anyone else's expectations. What's more important is to take each moment with breath, intention & presence. You will be bringing out your highest and best self when you slow down and realize that life is beautiful even if you don't do it all or have all the answers. You will be a better and healthier you when you give yourself grace.
