I take care of my own mental health by swimming each day. Though even in the pool when doing my laps sometimes I find it hard to switch off from my carer role. Focussing on the actual physical movement while swimming helps. Trying to make one 50 metre lap mindlessly. ( That's about a minute.) The only time I was able to concentrate enough to read a book was my last 3 week respite in Finland in May. Respite is essential for one' own health Nd wellbeing.
