There are times when you have to remove the "super cape " of being a loyal, kind, self-sacrificing Caregiver and yet you feel unappreciated, misunderstood, and "unheard". π€π‘π
Fun fact: "you're human". It happens.π€
You're body is NOT breaking down!
It's crying out for "my turn!" Time to hit the mental and emotional "reset" buttonβ±οΈππ
You know the what to do, what keeps drilling in your ears: selfcare, take care of you"; have a self-care routine" .....
And all you're thinking is "HOW?" no sleep, 24 hr a day duty. Where am i going to find the time?
It's not the time, or the love you have; it's the .......
π₯π₯π₯WHY, WHY , WHY exactly is "self-care" so VITAL?
Because, we are our BEST when we have PURPOSE, and getting back to your "why" can go a long way.
Here are 5 WAYS why self care matters:
πππ½ββοΈ1/Your MENTAL and EMOTIONAL HEALTH and stability- your brain and body then feel "taken care of"- reduces the need (most times), for things such as sleep aids, and maybe not so healthy ways of coping.
πππ½ββοΈ2/ Self care reminds you that YOU MATTER, - when you give yourself care, it is SELF-RESPECT and SELF-REGARD - this has been shown to greatly reduce the feelings of resentment and burnout.
πππ½ββοΈ 3/ PHYSICALLY- you are stronger, more healthy, less risk of NCDs such as hypertension - live long and prosper! (For all my fellow "TREKKIES"π€π₯°)
πππ½ββοΈ4/ Feeling better makes the WORK of Caregiving more joyful than painful- it's hard, but doable; positive vibes! The energy in the room!! AWESOME!!π₯
Caregiving is not for the fainthearted, and there are times when you need to let yourself be taken care of.
From my heart to yoursπ

Welcome to this second interview with Mr. Tony Babb - one of Barbados' most successful Water Sports Specialists (he can teach almost anyone to water-ski!) and winner of many awards, not only for his talents , but his amazing patience and customer service.
He is well-known for his sparkly smile- indeed his nickname "Sparkles" fits him PERFECTLY (listen out for the story behind this!ππ) .
π₯ Did I also mention that he is my favourite big brother! (my ONLY big brother lolπ₯) .I admire him so much!
His first story of Caregiving his elderly grandmother ("Granny"), in his 20s, as well as his baby son, all with a fulltime job, no transportation, and starting his own business; on the edge of burnout (until he was given a "wakeup call" by a loving aunt; and then going on to care for 2 more elder family members at various times over the years.
His story will resonate with many Family Caregivers as you see your shared experiences - we , you are NOT ALONE!ππ«ππ
Male Caregivers are , thankfully increasing in number and expertise, but Family Make Caregivers may often feel "unseen or under appreciated , because they have to be careful with their own feelings of caring for a female relative especially, because of stigma, fears of unfounded accusations and feeling "out of their depth".
We need more males because the male-male dynamic on a social scale is different and , let's face it ladies: we have our own "talk"; men have theirs!π―
It was a joy to chat with my "big brother", and heartwarming as I heard accounts for the first time- new appreciation!
Thank you Bro!πππππ₯
