Breathe In Gratitude, Exhale Doubt: Your Three-Part Clarity Reset
Published 5 days, 14 hours ago
Description
Welcome back, friend. I'm Julia Cartwright, and I'm so glad you're here for Mindful Mornings. You know, it's Saturday morning, and I'm guessing your mind might already be spinning with the week ahead, or maybe you're replaying something from yesterday that won't quite let go. That's so human, and honestly, it's exactly why we're here together right now. Today, we're going to clear some of that mental clutter and build yourself a foundation of genuine peace and clarity before the day really gets going. So take a breath, settle in, and let's begin.
Find yourself a comfortable seat, somewhere quiet if you can. Feet flat on the ground, or cross-legged, whatever feels right for your body. Let your shoulders drop away from your ears. Good. Now, I want you to notice something simple: you're already breathing. Your body knows what to do. You don't have to fix it or improve it. Just notice it.
Here's our practice today, and I call it the Three-Part Clarity Reset. It's wonderfully simple, and I promise it works. We're going to use your breath as an anchor, but we're also going to add one element that makes this really special: gratitude woven right in.
Take a slow breath in through your nose for a count of four. As you breathe in, think of one thing, just one, that you're grateful for. It doesn't have to be profound. Maybe it's your coffee, or your dog, or the fact that you showed up for yourself this morning.
Hold that breath for a count of four. Just sit with that gratitude. Feel it settle in your chest like warmth.
Now exhale for a count of six through your mouth. As you release, imagine you're letting go of any tension, any worry that doesn't serve you today.
Do this five more times. Breathe in your gratitude, hold it, exhale your doubt. In and out. Clear and light. With each cycle, notice how your mind settles a little more, like sediment in water finally falling to the bottom, leaving clarity above.
By the time we reach the end, you're going to feel fundamentally different. Not because anything has changed around you, but because you've changed how you're meeting the day. You've set an intention of peace, and you've anchored it in your body.
As you go forward today, remember this feeling. When things get hectic, pause for just one Three-Part Reset cycle. You've got this.
