Hello Fellow Family Caregivers!
Yessss! I'm post-workout- sweat etc,( don't judge! lol!)
Why oh why with ALL you have to do am I even daring to bring up exercise for Family Caregivers?
Seriously?
YES- SERIOUSLY: Hear me out:
Here are 5 main benefits for us ALL! Even if you can do just intervals of 5 minutes a day!
1/ 🌞Exposure to natural sunlight boosts vitamin D levels, promoting bone health and immune function.
2/🚶🏽🏃🏽♀️👟Outdoor activities open up lung function, and enhance cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, and balance, reducing YOUR risk of frailty, falls (Caregiving -related injury) and chronic conditions such as hypertension and heart disease. You are STRONGER and FITTER!
3/🧘🏽Exercising fosters mental well-being, reduces stress, depression and anxiety (💃🏽) improves mood, and enhances cognitive function, even reducing the risk of dementia later in life ; and who can say NO to THAT!?🙏🏽💯👵🏽🌞
4/ Even if you can just Zoom INDOORS for exercise with friends🫂🫂🫂🫂- you maintain your social connection - true friends are a blessing and GOOD for HEART, MIND and BODY.
5/ Probably the best of all- your SLEEP is better- more restful, with a clear mind, also knowing you did something your body will thank you for!
Sweet dreams!😴
Good vibes!
From my heart to yours💗

What do YOU Fear the most about getting old?
Is it - arthritis? Losing your hair, wrinkles (face it it's a true fear); being alone?
Actually, most of the research suggests it is NONE of those things....
It's actually.... MONEY !!💸😱. It seems to take wings and fly faster as you age.
Is this YOUR situation? THE TOP 10 FEARS OF SENIORS:
💸😱1/ Do I have enough retirement savings?
💸😱2/ What if I lose my job before I even get to retire?
💸😱3/ What if my spouse or I get sick- how will our money, savings (if any), be enough? This seems to apply to women especially - generally, women outlive men, but may not earn as much; what happens if the bread winner dies?
💸😱4/What if I run out of money to pay bills? Rent? Mortgage?
💸😱5/ Will I ever repay my debts before I die?
💸😱6/ Do I even have enough money for my funeral (end of life planning)?
💸😱7/ What if my Identity is stolen and I lose all my savings anyway?
💸😱8/ What if the stock market crashes and inflation rises beyond my means?
💸😱9/ Have I become replaceable by computers (and therefore lose my position, title, or job entirely?)
💸😱 10/ What if I don't have enough money for basic healthy food items, vitamins, special diet if needed?
These are REAL fears ; but please don't despair!
You CAN:
💰😊✅1/ Talk to your family, trusted fiends and m]health care provider about seeking financial advice- It is NEVER too late!
💰😊✅2/ Do what YOU can in taking a good hard look at your expenses- is there ANYTHING that may be cut down or out so there is at least something you can set aside- it may not be a s bad as you think!
💰😊✅3/ CLICHE - DO the best you can, and less worry!- (It can only shorten your lifespan anyway!🤷🏽♀️
LIVE- HAVE A GOOD LIFE! YOU DESERVE IT! AT ANY AGE!💗💯
Good vibes always!💗
From my heart to yours always💗
