This week on the Sit, Walk, Work podcast, I’m sharing a 30-minute guided meditation practice designed to help you soften into your breath, observe your thoughts, and extend the kindness you give so freely to others—toward yourself.
It’s a practice I return to often, especially when I’m feeling overwhelmed or disconnected. We begin by anchoring the attention in the breath, then gently observe the mind without judgment. From there, we explore what it means to wish ourselves well—especially the younger parts of us that still long for kindness, patience, and care.
There’s something powerful that happens when we allow ourselves to be the center of our own attention. Not in a self-centered way, but in a way that acknowledges: I matter too.
“The fact that each beat happens, that each breath shows up, is in and of itself its own miracle.”
This practice is for anyone who’s feeling worn down, who’s been giving more than they’ve been receiving, or who just wants to reconnect with the quiet miracle of being alive.
🧘🏾♂️ What You’ll Experience
Anchoring in the breath as a steady, loving presence
Observing thoughts without needing to change or chase them
Offering loving-kindness to the younger you
Cultivating gratitude for the body, the breath, and the heart
Ending in open, soft awareness
Whether it’s your first sit or your thousandth, I hope this episode helps you pause, soften, and reconnect.
🌀 A Few Reflection Questions
Feel free to journal these or just carry them into your day:
What happens when I let myself be the center of my own attention?
Is there a younger version of me that still needs care?
Where in my body do I feel love or resistance today?
Can I let my thoughts move like breath—free to come and go?
