About this episode

Julia guides listeners through a calming breathing exercise to reset their week.

Hey there, it's Julia. Welcome to Relaxation. I'm so glad you're here with me today, especially on a Monday morning when the week is practically throwing itself at you before your coffee's even cooled down. Take a breath. We're going to slow this train down together. Find yourself somewhere comfortable, even if it's just the corner of your couch or your car before work. Let your shoulders drop away from your ears. You're already doing better than you think. Notice what's around you right now, the sounds, the textures. Just notice without needing to fix anything. That's your job for the next few minutes, and honestly, it might be the easiest thing you do all day. Go ahead and take a slow inhale through your nose, and let it out through your mouth like you're fogging up a mirror. One more time. In through the nose, and out through the mouth. Beautiful. Now we're going to settle into a natural rhythm, and I want you to imagine your breath as something tangible, something real. Some of my favorite people describe it like a gentle wave rolling toward shore, steady and patient. Here's where we go deeper. I want you to breathe in for a count of four. One, two, three, four. Hold it there…
