  1. Self-Care: 5 Tips for TBI Survivors and Family Members By Kim Anderson

  2. Give Yourself Credit for Things You Accomplish • People really enjoy being recognized for their successes. Don’t wait for praise from others. Rewarding yourself when you take positive steps or reach a goal is a great way to celebrate your success. Don’t forget to acknowledge the small victories, remember a win is a win no matter how small.

  3. Be Kind to Yourself • You have been put through the wringer with very difficult situations. Giving yourself credit for doing your best in each situation will help lift your spirits and self-esteem. Believe it when someone says you're a modern day wonder woman or superman!

  4. Take Time to do Things You Enjoy • Watch that movie you’ve been wanting to see, Read the book purchased, go dancing with your friends, attend that paint night class, etc. You’ll be so much happier and better able to cope with life’s stresses if you take time to do things that allow you to de-stress or temporarily escape from the stress life can bring This Photo by Unknown author is licensed under CC BY.

  5. Give Yourself Some Alone Time • We all need time alone to re-charge our batteries. Take a little time out each day to do something alone — take a soothing bath, go for a walk, unplug from electronics, meditate. Even if you’re only able to commit to 10 - 15 minutes a day (the time usually spent scrolling through social media). Going for a walk or meditating for 10 to 15 minutes a day will help you recharge and momentarily de-stress.

  6. Remember That no One Can do Everything • Recognizing your limitations and listening to yourself when you’re reaching those limits will help prevent you from being overwhelmed or feeling stressed from the additional responsibilities you take on. Try to take on activities that complement or highlight your strengths. Don’t forget to ask for help with tasks that are difficult for you. Asking for help when you need it (especially if you’re having difficulty with the task) will alleviate existing stress and any additional stresses from the task because you’re no longer feeling alone in it. Even wonder woman had help defeating Ares and his influence from mankind. This Photo by Unknown author is licensed under CC BY.
