Caught in a caregiver's tug-of-war?

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 people 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:

• Set realistic limits to what you can do
• Recognize what you can't-it's okay to say "no"
• Set aside time just for yourself
• Get 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.
