🌿 When you’re caring for someone else, it’s easy to put your own needs last, but your well-being truly matters. 💙 Remember: taking care of yourself is one of the most important parts of being an effective, loving caregiver.

Here are a few small but powerful ways to recharge:

✨ Take 10 minutes just for you: breathe, stretch, or sit quietly.
✨ Stay connected with friends or support groups. You’re never alone.
✨ Rest when you can: even short breaks can restore energy.
✨ Ask for help and accept it without guilt.
✨ Celebrate small wins: they matter more than you think.

Your health, happiness, and peace of mind help you care with strength and compassion. You deserve care too. 💕
