Taking the keys away · a calming meditation

Caregiving asks so much of you, and it’s easy to go a whole day without a single breath that’s truly your own. This short meditation is a place to pause — to relax your body, settle your mind, and remember that you matter too.

Find a comfortable spot, let your shoulders drop, and give yourself permission to do nothing for a few minutes. There’s no wrong way to do this.

If you find this helpful, our full library inside Day to Day Dementia includes guided meditations for each stage of the journey — including ones for the hardest days and for grief.
