À propos de cet audio

 Welcome back, friend. I'm Julia Cartwright, and I'm so glad you're here on this mid-December morning. You know, this time of year does something interesting to us, doesn't it? The days are short, the to-do lists are long, and that feeling of rushing from one thing to the next can feel relentless. Before you dive into whatever's waiting for you today, I want to invite you to pause right here with me. Just for the next few minutes, let's hit the reset button together.

Go ahead and settle into a comfortable seat wherever you are. If you're at a table, that's perfect. On the couch? Even better. No special equipment needed. Let your shoulders drop away from your ears, and gently rest your hands in your lap or on your legs. There's no performance happening here, just you and me and a few quiet moments.

Now, let's start with something I call the morning reset breath. I want you to take a slow inhale through your nose, counting silently to four. Feel that cool air coming in. Hold it for a count of four. And now exhale through your mouth, counting to four, letting your shoulders melt down as you release. Let's do that one more time together. In through the nose for four, hold for four, and out through the mouth for four. Beautiful.

Now we're going to try something called anchored clarity breathing, and it's my favorite way to start the day with intention. As you breathe naturally, I want you to imagine that with each inhale, you're breathing in a color that represents clarity to you. Maybe it's golden light, crisp white, or soft blue. Picture it filling your whole body, all the way down to your fingertips. As you exhale, imagine you're breathing out any heaviness, any fog, any overwhelm from yesterday. Let it drift away like mist over water.

Keep this rhythm going. Inhale clarity in. Exhale the clutter out. There's no rush. You might notice your mind wandering to your calendar or your inbox. That's not a failure, that's just being human. When it happens, gently guide your attention back to your color, back to that sensation of breathing in what you need and releasing what you don't.

Do this for just one more minute in your own time. I'll be here.

When you're ready, take one final deep breath and gently open your eyes. Notice how you feel. A little lighter, perhaps. Maybe more grounded.

Here's my gift to you for today. Carry this practice with you. When you feel that rush creeping in during your morning, take just thirty seconds for one round of anchored clarity breathing. That's it. You've already got everything you need.

Thank you so much for joining me for Mindful Mornings: Start Your Day with Peace and Clarity. If this practice resonated with you, please subscribe so we can do this together tomorrow. You've got this.
