Clarity Breaths: A Mindful Morning Reset for Your Busy Day
Published 1 month, 4 weeks ago
Description
Welcome, friend. I'm Julia Cartwright, and I'm so glad you're here for Mindful Mornings. You know, it's late December, and if you're anything like me, you might be feeling that peculiar mix of excitement and overwhelm as we head into the new year. There's this pressure to have it all figured out by January first, right? But here's the thing: clarity doesn't come from forcing yourself to have all the answers. It comes from slowing down. And that's exactly what we're doing together today.
So find yourself a comfortable seat, somewhere you won't be interrupted for the next few minutes. Maybe it's your couch, your bed, or even your kitchen table with a warm cup of something nearby. Just settle in. Let your shoulders drop away from your ears. We're creating a little sanctuary right here, right now.
Now, I want you to notice your breath without trying to change it. Just observe it, like you're watching clouds drift across a sky. Your breath is always there, always honest, always bringing you back home to this moment. Let's take three deeper breaths together, in through your nose for a count of four, holding for four, and out through your mouth for six. One more time. And again. Beautiful.
Here's our practice for this morning: the clarity breath. This is my favorite because it's simple, and it actually works. Throughout your day, when you feel that mental fog creeping in, you're going to return to this. Picture your inhale as bringing in fresh, cool clarity, like mountain air entering your lungs. See it as bright and purposeful. Then as you exhale, let go of the noise. The unnecessary thoughts, the shoulds, the what-ifs. Release them like you're breathing out mist into the morning. Inhale clarity. Exhale what doesn't serve you. Let's practice this together for two minutes. Find your own rhythm, and trust that your nervous system knows exactly what to do.
As we close, I want you to carry this practice with you. Before every meeting, before you check your phone, before you react to anything today, give yourself three clarity breaths. That's your anchor. That's your reset button.
Thank you so much for spending these moments with me on Mindful Mornings: Start Your Day with Peace and Clarity. Your commitment to starting your day intentionally matters more than you know. Please subscribe so we can meet here again tomorrow, and every morning you need to come home to yourself. You've got this. See you tomorrow.
