Feel like you are in the middle of a game of tug-of-war with caring for your children pulling you one way and caring for your parents tugging you in the opposite direction?
Tens of thousands of baby boomers make up today's sandwich generation - finding themselves caught in the middle of tending to their family and for their parents. And, with more people vying for your limited time and attention, the result is often added stress and conflict in your life.
Some suggestions for coping include:
- Setting realistic limits to what you can do
- Recognizing what you can't-it's okay to say "no"
- Setting aside time just for yourself
- Getting help whenever possible
These are just a few ways to manage your life and find balance. For more information on tending to the increased pressures of life, contact NewBridge Services today or click here.
