このコンテンツについて

Hey there, friend. I'm Julia Cartwright, and I'm so glad you're here with me today. You know, it's the tail end of the year, and if you're anything like me, your brain is probably bouncing around like a pinball machine right now. Holiday chaos, year-end deadlines, New Year planning swirling around in your head. So today, we're going to do something really special together. We're going to calm that beautiful, busy mind of yours with a practice I call the Anchor and Release. Think of it as giving your racing thoughts a place to rest, just for a few minutes. Let's do this.

Go ahead and find yourself in a comfortable position, whether that's sitting, lying down, or even standing if that's what you've got. There's no wrong way to do this. Take a moment to arrive here, right now, in this space. Feel your body making contact with whatever's supporting you. Ground yourself. Really feel it.

Now let's start with some breathing. Breathe in slowly through your nose for a count of four. Hold it for just a beat. Then exhale gently through your mouth for a count of six. That longer exhale is the magic. It tells your nervous system you're safe. In for four, hold, out for six. Let's do that a few more times together at your own pace. Beautiful.

Okay, here's where the Anchor and Release comes in. Imagine your thoughts are like boats floating down a river. You don't have to jump in the water and chase them. Your job is to notice them, acknowledge them, and let them drift on by. As you continue breathing, each time a thought pops up, which they will because you have a busy mind, just mentally label it. Say to yourself, "thinking," and gently bring your attention back to the sensation of your breath. Feel the cool air coming in. Feel the warm air going out. That's your anchor. Your breath is the shore you keep returning to.

You might catch yourself thinking about your to do list, or replaying a conversation, or planning tomorrow. That's not failure. That's your brain being itself. Each time you notice it and come back to your breath, that's the real work. That's the practice. You're training your mind to focus, not by force, but by kindness. By gently returning, again and again.

Let's sit with this for a couple more minutes. Just breathing. Noticing. Releasing. You've got this.

And slowly, as we wrap up, start to deepen your breathing just a little. Begin to notice the sounds around you. Feel your body fully again. When you're ready, open your eyes.

You just did it. That practice, that anchor and release? You can take it with you all day. Feeling scattered in a meeting? Three conscious breaths. Stuck in traffic? Anchor and release. You now have a tool.

Thank you so much for joining me on Mindfulness for Busy Minds: Daily Practices for Focus. I hope you'll subscribe so we can keep doing this together, day after day. You deserve this peace. I'm Julia Cartwright, and I'll see you tomorrow.
