At Long Term Solutions, we’re constantly examining new techniques to support
caregivers in their journey. One great way to manage your wellness is through meditation.
Now, we don’t mean adding another thing to a list of your ‘to-do’s,’
we don’t mean learning new meditation techniques, and we definitely don’t mean
wasting fifteen minutes of your day. We’re talking about meditating on the most
basic level possible. It can be as easy as stopping what you’re doing, no
matter where you are, and taking five deep breaths. As simple as that!
One place to try this is waiting for your loved ones during appointments. Caregivers are always shuttling their loved ones to and from
doctor’s appointments, so instead of stressing out about the next doctor’s
appointment, what’s for dinner, or an overbooked agenda, take some time to
meditate. Take five minutes to focus on breathing and not the thoughts
scrambling through your head. You don’t have to completely clear your head of
thoughts, but just pause them momentarily.
Incorporating five minutes of meditation into your day will
have incredible benefits! Here are six steps to quieting your mind from Huffington Post.
