What are your priorities when planning for your future care?


In this episode of Your Future Self, we introduce you to our Physical Pillar of Care.


The Physical Pillar is often most prominent because it is usually a physical ailment of a loved one that results in you becoming a caregiver.


Unfortunately, the focus on addressing the physical needs of your loved ones causes you to ignore your own physical needs, limiting your ability to manage your stress and provide optimal care.


Self-care is easier said than done. However, self-care is not selfish. It's a priority, and our goal is to help you plan for your future care by allowing you to make self-care a priority in your life.
