6 Unique Techniques for Reducing Caregiver
Stress
2
Every family caregiver is likely to experience
stressful situations at some point. Although
stress cannot be eliminated completely, there are
some ways to control it. If not properly managed,
stress could lead to depression, heart disease,
and other serious health conditions. Here are
some unique and interesting ways to manage
caregiver stress.

1. Massage Your Earlobes
Rubbing pressure points can calm a caregivers
mind. Most caregivers massage their foreheads
because it is a common thing to do. However,
rubbing the forehead can cause additional stress.
Instead, massage the inside of your earlobes and
work your way to the outside. Massaging your
earlobes can lead to a renewed state of peace
within minutes. Consider hiring a professional
caregiver if you need a break from your
caregiving duties to relax and reduce
stress. Tucson respite care professionals can
assist seniors with a wide array of daily tasks,
offering family caregivers the chance to focus on
other personal responsibilities or take a break
to prevent burnout. Whether its for a few hours
a day or a few days a week, respite care is the
perfect solution for family caregivers who are
feeling overwhelmed.

2. Pull Out the Play-Doh
Play- Doh has a role similar to that of a stress
ball, with a fun and unique twist. When you grab
the Play-Doh or begin to make objects with it,
you can tap into your subconscious, which may
relax your mind. You can also try Mohdoh, which
has the same effect as Play-Doh, along with the
benefits of aromatherapy.

3. Enjoy a Movie Marathon
Whenever family caregivers feel stressed and
burned out, they should watch a couple of movies
from their childhood. Having a movie marathon can
put a smile on your face, and the healthy dose of
nostalgia you receive when watching old films may
put you in a better mood almost instantly.

4. Have a Solo Dance Party
Marching to the beat of your own drums can
alleviate caregiver stress and boost your energy
levels. If you have the time, play your favorite
song when dancing. Even a few minutes of dancing
could brighten your day. The next time you feel
overwhelmed from your duties or fear the outcome
of your loved ones medical exam, take a little
break and dance by yourself. Your body will begin
to release positive endorphins that fight against
stress hormones. Caring for a senior loved one
can be a stressful task. Families who need
additional assistance caring for an elderly loved
one should consider hiring a professional caregive

5. Drink Orange Juice
Most people drink orange juice at breakfast, but
family caregivers should have a glass whenever
they feel overwhelmed. Orange juice contains
nutrients that reduce anxiety. The vitamin C
found in orange juice can immediately lower
stress hormones, including cortisol. You dont
have to drink a lot of orange juice each day. Two
glasses per day is generally enough to lower
anxiety levels.

6. Blow Up a Balloon
Inflating a balloon requires you to take deep
breaths that divert your attention from your
caregiving duties. Instead of thinking about what
has gone wrong, you can find joy in blowing up
the balloon. It will give you a feeling of
self-accomplishment while putting a smile on your
face and alleviating stress. Caring for a senior
loved one can be challenging for families who
dont have expertise or professional training in
home care, but this challenge doesnt have to be
faced alone. Family caregivers can turn to Tucson
