 Hey there, welcome. I'm Julia Cartwright, and I'm so glad you're here with me today. You know, it's mid-December, and I'm guessing your brain feels a little like a browser with seventeen tabs open, right? Between holiday obligations, year-end work deadlines, and that nagging feeling that you should be getting more done... well, focus feels like a luxury you can't quite afford. But here's the thing: that's exactly when we need mindfulness most. So let's take the next few minutes together and actually rewire how your busy mind works. Not by making it quiet, but by making it sharp.

Go ahead and get comfortable wherever you are. You don't need to sit in any special way or find the perfect spot. Just settle in. Feel your body making contact with whatever's supporting you right now. That chair, that couch, that floor. Really feel it.

Now, let's start with your breath. Not in any fancy way. Just notice what's already happening. Your breath is like the ocean—it's always moving, always there. Breathe in through your nose for a count of four. Hold it gently for four. And out through your mouth for six. That longer exhale? That's your nervous system's favorite thing. It's like a dimmer switch for anxiety. In for four. Hold for four. Out for six. Let's do that a few more times together. Really feel the slight cool of the inhale and the warmth of the exhale.

Now here's where we anchor your focus. Imagine your attention like a spotlight on a stage. Right now, I want you to shine that spotlight on one single thing: the sensation of your feet. Just your feet. Not your whole body, not your worries, just your feet making contact with the ground. Feel the weight. Feel the pressure. Feel the small micro-movements even when you're still. Your feet are your root system. They're connected to everything solid beneath you.

Whenever your mind wanders—and it will, and that's perfectly normal—gently bring that spotlight back to your feet. No judgment. No frustration. Just a gentle redirect, like steering a boat back to shore.

Let's sit with this for a minute more. Feet on the ground. Breath flowing. Spotlight steady.

Here's what you're actually doing right now: you're building focus like a muscle. Every time you notice your mind has wandered and bring it back, you're getting stronger. That's not a failure; that's the whole practice.

Before you go, take one final breath together. And then carry this feeling with you. When you're in your next meeting or scrolling through your inbox, find your feet again. Root down. Reset.
