Last year's New Year episode was about loving yourself. How did that go for you this year? Did you listen to the episode? Were you able to practice the steps?

Were you able to erase the list of resolutions for this year and simply love yourself? I hope so, I truly do.

It's no wonder many of us might be feeling a little overwhelmed.

Some of us might be bursting with joy

as we reflect back on all of the successes and accomplishments this year,

while others may be tearfully missing loved ones who have since become

distant or passed away. Despite the highs and lows of this year and what they've been,

there's no need to feel anxious about what lies ahead, because whatever it brings, it will come in due time.

All you can do is focus on staying positive and making sure your health and your safety

come first.

But I want to share with you a lovely technique to bring in the new year in a calm meditative way.

It will also be something that you can take with you, quote unquote, whenever you need a moment

to calm your mind. I'm Chad Lawson and let's comment down in three, two, one.

If you would, let's start by finding ourselves in a comfortable quiet spot.

Hmm, taking just a simple, simple breath in, simple breath out.

Now this is a wonderful time to remind yourself that this is an opportunity for a fresh start.

No matter when or where you do this, each time you take in a breath and you release that breath,

this is a wonderful way to remind yourself that it is.

It's an opportunity for a fresh start.

I want to show you one of my favorites really quick.

It's a four, six breathing.

So you breathe in for four seconds.
