Clarity Breath: A Pocket-Sized Reset for Busy Mornings
Published 1 week, 5 days ago
Description
Good morning. I'm Julia Cartwright, and I'm so glad you're here. Whether you've just rolled out of bed or you're stealing five minutes before the chaos begins, you're already making the right choice by showing up for yourself today. It's Saturday morning, and I know for a lot of you, the weekend can feel just as packed as the weekdays. Maybe you're worried about everything on your plate, or perhaps you're still carrying tension from the week. Whatever brought you here, I want you to know that these next few minutes are yours. No obligations, no performance. Just you and this moment.
Let's start by getting comfortable wherever you are. You can sit, lie down, or even stand. There's no wrong way to do this. Now, I'd like you to notice your breath, not to change it yet, just to notice it. Is it shallow or deep? Quick or slow? Don't judge it. Your breath is exactly what it needs to be right now.
Now let's anchor ourselves with what I call the Clarity Breath. Here's how it works. Breathe in slowly through your nose for a count of four, feeling the cool air fill your lungs like a gentle breeze moving through an open window. Hold it there for a count of four. Notice the pause, that small pocket of stillness. Then exhale through your mouth for a count of six, releasing any tension, any worry, any heaviness. The longer exhale signals your nervous system that you're safe. That you can rest.
Let's do this together. In for four: one, two, three, four. Hold: one, two, three, four. Out for six: one, two, three, four, five, six. Good. Again. In for four. Hold for four. Out for six, letting go. One more time. In for four. Hold. Out for six.
Beautiful. Now continue at your own pace for the next minute or so. With each breath, imagine you're exhaling fog from a mirror, gradually revealing clarity underneath. Each breath wipes away what you don't need.
As we finish, take one final full breath and gently open your eyes. Here's what I want you to carry forward today: whenever you feel scattered or rushed, return to that Clarity Breath. Four in, four hold, six out. It's a pocket-sized reset button you can use anywhere, anytime.
