For those of you who are sole caregivers and you are in a moment of rest between demands--whether it's a scheduled break or just stealing a minute--what do you do to really relax in that moment? How do you release the physical and mental grip of always being on alert and ready for the next request? Is there a mantra you say to yourself? Is it breathing exercises or tapping? Visualization/meditation? Or is it simply not possible and you do the best you can?
I'm not talking about activities for self-care here--that's pretty well covered. I'm wondering what you say to yourself during those activities, or how you flip the switch to put yourself into a mental state of "letting-go" enough to enjoy the self-care?
