Welcome to first this, a short mindfulness practice and message for any time.

I'm Catherine Nikolai. Thanks for being here.

Let's settle in.

Any posture is good.

You can lay on your back with your legs up a wall.

You can sit or stretch out flat.

You know, even if something seems to work for everyone else but doesn't work for you,

it doesn't mean that there's something wrong with you and that you have to keep doing it.

It's okay to try something different, and you never have to explain yourself.

Let's take a deep breath in.

Out through the mouth.

One more time, breathe in.

Release it. Good. Just natural breath now.

Lips together, breathing through your nose.

Calmly pointing your attention at your breath.

When you inhale, you're aware of it. When you breathe out, you notice.

And when you realize you're not doing that anymore.

Just start over.

It doesn't matter why. Thank you. Still there, in and out. Thank you. I'm I'm

I'm

I'm I often find that if I know why something is beneficial to me,

it's a whole lot easier for me to make it a habit.
