I think that caregivers need to have their own plans and ideas. They need to be able to take a break and try something new. For me, sports is such a thing , I’m constantly looking for the right workout and so far I’ve settled on https://betterme.world/articles/calisthenics-list-of-exercises/.

Thanks for sharing, Mia. Being physically active is one of my favourite pastimes too, and it really helps me manage my mood and stress. Have you always been an active person?
