How can I get started with my goal of "taking better care of myself as a caregiver"?
After setting this goal, make an action plan. An action plan is an agreement or contract with yourself that will help you reach your goal. It has several parts.

Second, it should be easy to complete during the next week.
Third, it should be behavior-specific. The more specific you are the better.
