 Hey there, I'm Julia Cartwright, and I'm so glad you're here for Mindful Moments. You know, Saturday mornings in early January can feel a little heavy, can't they? There's this peculiar pressure that comes with the new year settling in—like we're supposed to have it all figured out by now. But here's what I know: the best thing you can do right now is pause. So let's do that together.

Find yourself somewhere comfortable, whether that's your couch, your bed, or even a quiet corner at work. You don't need anything fancy. Just you and your breath. Let your shoulders drop away from your ears. Good. Now, before we dive in, I want you to know there's nowhere to get to in the next few minutes. This is just for you.

Take a moment to notice where you're sitting. Feel the surface beneath you. It's holding you up. That's kind of nice, isn't it?

Now, let's breathe together. I want you to breathe in slowly through your nose for a count of four. One, two, three, four. Hold it there for just a moment. Now exhale through your mouth like you're gently blowing out birthday candles. Four counts. Don't rush it. Feel your shoulders relax as the air leaves your body.

Let's call this the River Breath, because we're going to let your thoughts flow past like leaves on water. Don't grab them. Don't judge them. Just notice them drifting by.

Breathe in for four. Notice what comes up—maybe it's your to-do list, maybe it's worry, maybe it's absolutely nothing and that's perfect too. Hold it. Now breathe out for four, and let it all go downstream.

Again. In for four. You're doing beautifully. Hold. Out for four. Let go.

One more time. In for four. Feel your belly expand like a balloon filling with calm. Hold that expansion. Out for four. Soft. Easy. Like wind through wheat.

And now just breathe naturally. Notice how your body feels different. A little softer maybe. A little more you.

Here's what I want you to carry into your day: whenever you feel that pressure creeping back, pause and do this River Breath three times. That's it. Three rounds, and you've reset your nervous system. You don't need an hour to benefit from mindfulness. You need a moment.
