Welcome to Mindfulness Moments. This will be a recurring series on the Mindful Marathon Podcast where Coach Michelle shares simple mindfulness practices you can return to whenever you desire.

In this episode, you’ll be guided through two gentle practices designed to help you reconnect with your body and settle your nervous system, whether you’re on an easy run, out for a walk, or winding down before sleep.

These practices are not about performance or fixing anything. They’re an invitation to slow down, notice, and breathe, especially during times when life feels heavy or overwhelming.

In this episode, you’ll experience:

• A guided reflection you can use during a time-based run or run/walk, allowing effort and presence to lead instead of pace or distance

• A guided body scan you can practice while moving slowly or lying down, helping to release tension and support rest

You can return to these practices anytime:

• When your mind feels busy

• When your body feels tense

• When you want to move with more awareness

• Or when you simply need a pause

Running and movement can be a refuge, a way to come back into your body and to protect your peace. My hope is that these Mindfulness Moments offer you a small pocket of calm you can carry into the rest of your day.
