Breathe In Serenity, Breathe Out Chaos: A Mindful Reset for Your Day

Welcome back to Mindful Mornings. I'm Julia Cartwright, and I'm so glad you're here. Whether you woke up with that familiar knot in your chest, scrolling through your phone before your feet hit the floor, or you're already three cups of coffee deep into the day's chaos, you made the right choice by pressing play. This morning, we're going to hit the reset button together and find that peace and clarity that feels like it's always just out of reach. So let's take a breath, shall we?

Find a comfortable seat, somewhere you won't be interrupted for the next few minutes. It could be your couch, your bed, or honestly, your car before work starts. Wherever you are, this is your sanctuary right now. As you settle in, just notice what you're feeling without judgment. Some of us wake up feeling scattered, like our minds are already running a marathon before breakfast. That's completely normal. Today, we're going to gently bring all those scattered pieces back home.

Let's start by bringing your awareness to your breath. Inhale through your nose for a count of four, feeling the cool air entering. Hold it for a moment. Now exhale slowly through your mouth for a count of six. There's something almost magical about extending that exhale, like you're releasing everything that doesn't serve you right now. Again, in for four. Hold. Out for six. One more time. Feel that? That subtle shift? That's your nervous system saying thank you.

Now, I want you to imagine your mind as a snow globe that's been shaken all night long. All those thoughts, worries, and to-do lists are just swirling around in there. With each breath, we're letting those flakes settle. You're not trying to empty the globe. You're just allowing things to gently fall into place. Breathe in peace. Breathe out the urgency. Breathe in clarity. Breathe out the fog. There's no forcing here. You're simply creating space.

As we move through the rest of your day, carry this rhythm with you. When you feel that familiar tension creeping back in, pause. Take three of these long breaths. That's it. You've got this practice in your back pocket now.

Thank you so much for spending these moments with me on Mindful Mornings, where we start your day with peace and clarity. If this resonated with you, please subscribe so you don't miss our next guided practice. You deserve mornings that feel grounded and intentional. See you tomorrow.
