Self-Care 101
Self-care is the prerequisite to a satisfying caregiving experience. For many helping professionals and family caregivers, we have witnessed how self-care helps individuals to stay on their commitment to care for their ageing loved ones over the years. Though it has been a hip topic in the caregiving scene these recent years, truly understanding and practising self-care for many caregivers have not been totally smooth-sailing.
Self-Care 101 hopes to debunk the many myths around self-care and equip caregivers with the fundamental know-hows. Do join us in unravelling this essential aspect of caregiving!
Taking care of ourselves as caregivers - Part 2
看护者的自我照顾旅程- 与自己的积极对话
家庭看护者需要善待自己，才有体力和能量更好地照顾家人。善待自己，除了做一些让自己休息放松的活动，更重要的是从心灵上关爱自己。希望通过这个视频帮助看护者了解，如何学习做自己的天使，展开与自己积极的对话，以关爱代替苛责。当我们愿意包容接纳自己，情绪更稳定自在，更有信心和能量面对看护旅程中的挑战和困难，体验照顾的喜悦和成就感。
Often neglected by caregivers and all is the fact that we are affected by some not-so-healthy caregiving beliefs in our caregiving journey. In this clip, we aim to:
- Help caregivers understand the impact of personal beliefs on their coping with the caregiving responsibility
- Help caregivers identify common beliefs that make them feel lousy and stuck
- Encourage them to develop healthier alternative beliefs which are kinder and more realistic
- Highlight benefits of being kinder and more realistic towards ourselves
Taking care of ourselves as caregivers - Part 1
Self-care for caregivers can be simple and easily accessible in our daily life using our five senses. Here are some activities you can do to help enhance self-care in the midst of your caregiving duties.
Are you feeling tired or irritated?
How do you know if you are just feeling tired or irritated for the day, or if they are signs to worse mental health issues from caregiving?
Self-care, can we?
Self-care myths can distort our perceptions of caregiving and prevent caregivers from taking proper care of themselves – leading to caregiver stress and burnout. Self-care is vital for both the caregiver and the care recipient(s). In this page, we aim to help debunk some self-care myths and reiterate the importance of self-care to all caregivers.
善待自己，真的可以吗？
善待自己是否会让我们有内疚感？一定要有钱又有时间才能自我照顾吗？看护者常有一些关于善待自己的迷思， 这些可能影响我们对于看护责任的看法，让我们无法照顾自己的需要，从而导致看护压力及疲劳过度。善待自己对看护者和照顾对象同样重要。希望通过这篇和大家分享如何解开关于善待自己的迷思，当我们能善待自己时，我们的照顾对象也能感受到良好的看护。
