Letting Go of Perfection: Prioritizing Your Well-being as a Caregiver. Caregiving can be an all-consuming role. However, prioritizing your own well-being is crucial for both you and your loved one. Here's how: Challenge the "perfect caregiver" myth: There's no such thing! Doing your best is enough. Schedule self-care activities: Delegate tasks when possible, and carve out time for activities you enjoy. Practice self-compassion: Be kind to yourself.
