Spring has sprung and it is now time to go outdoors.
There are ways to help caregivers and loved ones to thrive during the springtime. A great way is for them to embrace activities outdoors.
Finding ways to create activities for your loved ones can help you as well enjoy the warmth ahead.
Make sure and be mindful of weather changes and dress in layers so that as the day becomes warmer you can enjoy the sun.
Focus on creating an environment that is safe and stimulating for those who you care for. Taking walks, visiting a park, or just sitting on the front porch can help shake off those winter blues.
It is also important to open the windows and let the fresh air in. Bring “spring” in doors with fresh flowers that can stimulate your loved one. Flowers can lift everyone’s spirit whether by the smell or by the beautiful colors they present.
Make spring a time to change furnace filters. This can help with keeping allergies under control. Pollen and dust can exacerbate breathing issues such as COPD, asthma, and allergies.
Be attentive to these factors and start your spring cleaning which can also help.
Remember that is the time of the year that gives us hope of new beginnings.
Springtime is a time to create a “fresh” perspective in how we care for others and ourselves.
We Are Better Together!
