    For When You’re Tired of Being Strong

    Some days, strength feels heavy. Like something you have to hold up. Even when your arms are tired. This guided breathing reset for caregivers uses a weighted exhale breath. A slow inhale through the nose. A longer exhale, like you are setting something down. It’s a simple 5 minute breathing exercise to help your body loosen its grip and give you a small moment of caregiver stress relief. This episode is for moments when: you are bone-deep tired but still showing upyou feel stretched thin and can’t find a breakyour shoulders ache from holding everything instaying strong feels more exhausting than helpful With each inhale, you gently expand. With each longer exhale, you imagine putting something down. Not forever. Just for now. The longer exhale tells your body it can soften. You don’t have to fix anything. You don’t have to solve the day. You are simply letting a little weight drop so there is space for the next breath. This short breathing meditation gives your nervous system a quiet signal that it can settle, even for a few minutes. 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.
