 Hey there, I'm Julia Cartwright, and I'm so glad you've carved out a few minutes for yourself today. Sunday morning, a fresh week ahead, and I'm guessing your mind is already spinning through the to-do list, right? That's exactly what we're going to gently untangle together. Take a seat somewhere comfortable, feet flat if you can, and let's give your nervous system permission to slow down just a little.

Start by closing your eyes or softening your gaze downward. Notice your breath right now without changing it. Just observing, like you're watching clouds pass through the sky. You're not trying to make them move faster or slower, just watching. Your breath is doing its thing, and that's perfect. Now, let's deepen it just slightly. Inhale through your nose for a count of four, feeling that cool air. Hold it for a count of four. Then exhale through your mouth for a count of six. That longer exhale is like releasing tension from your shoulders, your jaw, your hands. Four in, four hold, six out. Let's do that three more times together, really feeling the rhythm.

Now here's the secret sauce for staying focused at work today. We're going to practice what I call the anchor and release technique. Imagine your attention is like a boat on the water, and throughout the day your thoughts are waves trying to rock you. Your anchor is this moment, right now, and your breath. When you notice yourself drifting into five different email drafts at once, gently acknowledge it without judgment and come back to one full breath. Just one. That's it. You're not trying to empty your mind, you're just practicing returning to center. Do that mentally right now. Feel your feet on the ground. Feel the chair supporting you. These are your anchors. When distraction hits at ten o'clock or two in the afternoon, return here.

As you move through your week, I want you to pause before opening your email, before jumping into back-to-back meetings, before scrolling. Take one conscious breath. One. Your nervous system will thank you, your focus will sharpen, and honestly, your work will feel less frantic and more intentional.
