But new guest blogger Jessica Temple says it&#8217;s possible. As a neuropsychologist and mom of two children with special needs, she knows what she&#8217;s talking about!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span>We parents hear time and again that if we don\u2019t take care of ourselves, we can&#8217;t take care of our children. It&#8217;s been said so many times because it is true! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Until recently, I thought self-care was too expensive, too exhausting, and too time consuming. Before children, I had hobbies and engaged in self-care every day. After children, that dropped drastically. Once my children were diagnosed with their special needs (autism and stroke), self-care dwindled to just about nothing. I could barely hold onto flossing, eating, and sleeping, let alone niceties such as massages and vacations. We don\u2019t have much money, and I felt that time spent caring for myself was time stolen from my children. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A discussion with my husband opened my eyes to the fact that there are many free and quick ways to practice caregiver self-care on the cheap, even during the COVID-19 craziness. Here are some free and quick strategies we came up with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Caregiver Self-Care on the Cheap at Home<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>There are many free things we can do, and we don\u2019t even need to leave the house!<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Soak in the bathtub<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Listen to music<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Safely sun bathing<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Spend a night in with your partner or friends (once social-distancing is no longer a thing)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Card games or board games<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Yoga<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Arts and crafts with found objects<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Read a book<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Dance<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Jigsaw puzzles<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Listen to free audiobooks from the library<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Listen to podcasts<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Watch old home movies<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Have a movie marathon<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Write a letter to an old friend<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Have a paper airplane contest<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Design a fake house<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Make a time capsule<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Paint your nails<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Drink more water<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Caregiver Self-Care on the Cheap Out of the House<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>There are other strategies that we can do when we go out once social distancing is no longer a thing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Take a drive in the car<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Take a walk<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Go to the library<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Go to a free museum<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Go on a picnic<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Meditate outdoors<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Window shop<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Visit a farmer\u2019s market<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Start a found rock collection<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Attend a free community class<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span><span class=\"Apple-tab-span\"><\/span><\/span><strong>Caregiver Self-Care Mindfulness Stratagies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Of course, if time is a factor, there are plenty of things you can that only take a little bit of time but pack a huge punch.\u00a0<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Think about good past memories<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Really taste your food<\/span><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Take mindful walks<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Do the dishes mindfully<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Wear comfortable clothes<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Doodle, paint, or color<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Give self-affirmations<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Daydream<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Write in your journal<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Spend a few minutes outside<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Take short breaks at work<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Blow bubbles<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span>Gaze at the stars<\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Stretch<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Practice mindful breathing<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Practice progressive muscle relaxation<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><\/span><span>Try out creative visualization<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Caregiver Self-Care Fun<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Having fun can&#8217;t be over-rated.
