This guided breathing reset for caregivers uses a slow waking breath. Each inhale helps you gather yourself. Each exhale lets you settle into the morning without rushing ahead. This 5 minute breathing exercise offers a gentle pause before the caregiving day begins.

• You can listen seated, lying down, or wherever you are.
• Eyes open or closed.
