About this episode

Julia Cartwright guides listeners through a 3-minute breathing exercise to reset their nervous system and relieve tension.

Hey there, friend. I'm Julia Cartwright, and I'm so glad you found your way here today. You know, it's Friday morning, and I'm willing to bet there's a little tension creeping into your shoulders right about now. Maybe it's the week catching up with you, or maybe you're already thinking about everything on your plate. Either way, you're here, and that's exactly what matters. So let's take the next few minutes and just breathe together. No pressure, no performance. Just you and me and your breath. Go ahead and find a comfortable place to sit. You can be in your car, at your desk, or curled up on the couch. Doesn't matter where you are; what matters is that you're here. Let your shoulders drop away from your ears. Feel your feet on the ground or your seat beneath you. You're supported right now, and that's a really good feeling to notice. Now, let's start with something I call the foundation breath. Breathe in slowly through your nose for a count of four. Feel the cool air as it travels down into your belly. Let your stomach expand like you're filling a balloon. Hold that breath for just a beat, and then exhale through your mouth for a count of six. Longer exhale than inhale, okay…
