In this guided breathing reset for caregivers, Charlotte uses a simple counting breath to give your mind less to carry for a few minutes.

This 5 minute breathing exercise offers caregiver stress relief by pairing each breath with a number, so your attention has somewhere gentle to rest.

This episode is for moments when:

• you have been making decisions all day and your mind feels worn down
• you are caring for someone and cannot think through one more choice
• you feel scattered, foggy, or pulled in too many directions at once
• you need a short breathing meditation that asks very little from you

Listening Instructions

• You can listen seated, lying down, or wherever you are.
• Eyes open or closed.
• Just five minutes to soften your breath and let your body settle.
