A Clarity Reset: Find Your Anchor in 3 Mindful Minutes
Published 1 month, 4 weeks ago
Description
Welcome to Mindful Mornings. I'm Julia Cartwright, and I'm so glad you're here with me today. You know, right now in late December, a lot of us are caught between holidays and new year energy, wondering if we're doing enough or being enough. And honestly? That's exactly when we need to pause and remember that peace isn't something you earn. It's something you already have access to, right here, right now.
So let's settle in together. Find somewhere comfortable, somewhere that feels like it belongs to you, even if it's just your kitchen with your coffee. Let your shoulders drop away from your ears. You're not carrying anything right now except this breath, and this moment.
Now, I want to guide you through something I call the Clarity Reset. It's simple, it's portable, and you can do it in three minutes flat before the day really starts pulling at you.
Start by noticing the very first inhale of this practice. Breathe in slowly through your nose, and as you do, imagine drawing in clarity like you're pulling in the scent of fresh bread from the oven. It's warm. It's nourishing. You might count to four as you breathe in. Hold it there for just a moment. Feel that pause, that space between doing and being.
Now exhale through your mouth, and as you do, imagine releasing all the mental clutter like fog lifting off a lake at sunrise. You might count to six on the exhale because slowing down your out breath actually calms your nervous system. It's not complicated. It's biology dressed up as wisdom.
Do this five more times. Inhale clarity, exhale confusion. Inhale intention, exhale resistance. Don't try to make it perfect. The practice isn't about achieving some meditative masterpiece. It's about showing up for yourself with genuine presence.
As you settle into your day now, carry this with you: whenever you feel scattered, stolen, or stuck, you have this reset in your back pocket. Three minutes. Ten breaths. That's your anchor.
The goal of Mindful Mornings isn't to change you. It's to remind you who you already are when you get quiet enough to listen. Thank you so much for spending this time with me today. If this resonated with you, please subscribe to Mindful Mornings so we can start each day together. You deserve a morning that feels like peace before it becomes chaos.
Take care of yourself out there.
