 Hey there, friend. I'm Julia, and I'm so glad you're here with me today. You know, it's late November, and we're heading into that peculiar time of year where the days get shorter and our minds somehow get busier. If you're feeling that restless energy tonight, that sense that your brain won't quite settle down, well, you're not alone. That's exactly what we're going to work with together.

Before we dive in, just find yourself a comfortable seat or lying position, somewhere that feels safe. Maybe grab a blanket. There's no performance happening here, just you and me, finding our way toward better rest.

Let's start by noticing your breath without trying to change it just yet. Breathe in naturally through your nose, and out through your mouth. Again. In and out. You're already doing the most important thing, which is simply showing up. That counts for something.

Now, here's what we're going to do together. I want you to imagine that with each exhale, you're releasing the day like you're gently placing stones you've been carrying into a river. One breath, one stone. Let it float away.

Breathe in for a count of four. Hold it for four. Now, exhale slowly for six. That's it. The longer exhale is the real magic here, because it tells your nervous system that you're safe. That you can rest. In through four. Hold for four. Out for six. Again. In through four. Hold for four. Out for six. Feel how your shoulders are dropping a little? That's your body remembering what peace feels like.

Keep this rhythm going, and as you breathe, notice something specific in your body. Maybe it's the weight of your head on the pillow, or your hands resting. That's your anchor. That's what brings you back when your mind wanders, which it will, and that's perfectly okay.

One more round together. In for four. Hold for four. Out for six. Beautiful.

Here's what I want you to take with you tonight: this four-four-six breathing pattern is your new friend. Whenever you feel that racing mind at bedtime, come back to it. Use it as a little ritual that signals to your body, time to wind down.
