Start your day with peace and clarity podcast. Good morning and welcome back to mindful mornings.

2:06I'm Julia Cartwright and I'm so glad you're here. You know, it's Friday morning, mid March. And if you're like most people I talk to, you might be feeling that particular kind of tired. The one where you're to do list is already boxing you in before your feet hit the ground. So today we're going to do something really simple that will help you reclaim your morning and your mind. Let's start by getting comfortable. Sit however feels good to you. That could be on a cushion, in a chair, on the edge of your bed, whatever works. Now just let your shoulders drop away from your ears. Feel that? That's already a win. Raise your eyes gently or soften your gaze downward. We're creating a little sanctuary right here right now and it belongs entirely to you. Let's begin with your breath. Take a slow inhale through your nose for a count of four. Hold it for just a moment.

3:07Now exhale for a count of six. Do that again, inhale for exhale six. And more time, feel how that longer exhale is already calming your nervous system. That's not magic. It's just physiology working in your favor. Now, I want you to imagine your mind as a snow globe. You know those things? Inside there are all these little snowflakes swirling around. Those are your thoughts, your worries, your plans. For the next few minutes, we're not going to try to stop the snow from falling. What's the mistake people make? Instead we're just going to observe it. Notice when a thought appears. Oh, there's a snowflake about that meeting at 10. Let it float by. There's another one about whether you have time for breakfast. Just watch it drift. You're not pushing it away. You're not grabbing it. You're just aware that it's there. And then it moves on.

4:07Keep breathing that way. Four in, six out. Your job is simply to notice. Just the cool air on your nostrils as you breathe in. Notice the warmth as it comes out. Notice your heartbeat, steady and true beneath your ribs. You're here, you're okay. This moment is exactly what it needs to be. As we close, I want you to carry this practice with you today. When you feel rushed or scattered, pause. Take that same four and six breath. Notice what's happening without judgment. You've already started your day from a place of peace. And nothing can take that away from you. Thank you so much for joining me on Mindful Mornings. Start your day with peace and clarity. Please subscribe so you don't miss tomorrow's practice.
