Let It Go | Your 10-Minute Midday Reset - Guided Meditation,

Author: Martin Hewlett - Calming Anxiety April 21, 2026 Duration: 9:57

The middle of the day is often when "striving and managing" turns into physical and mental fatigue. Today, we invite you to hit the pause button. This 10-minute midday reset is a clean slate for your mind and body, designed to clear mental clutter and help you let it go before you head into your afternoon.
Using somatic grounding and vagus nerve resets, Martin guides you through a process of nervous system regulation that restores your capacity to handle the rest of your day with grace.
Time Chapters

  • 2:48 – Visualizing your "Orb of Safety" and clearing the fog.
  • 4:05 – The Lighthouse Breath: Blowing away the midday static.
  • 5:23 – Affirmations to hardwire peace into your soul.
  • 7:18 – 3 Daily Caring Tips for a better afternoon.

Internal Affirmations
  • "I am choosing to let it go."
  • "The morning is behind me, I am present in the now."
  • "I have all the time I need to be calm and effective."
3 Daily Caring Tips
  1. Hydrate to Regulate: Drink a glass of water immediately following this session. Midday anxiety is often a signal of mild dehydration.
  2. The 20-20-20 Rule: Look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds to reset your optical nerves and break screen-stare tension.
  3. A Moment of Kind Thought: Spark a natural vagus nerve reset by thinking of one person you appreciate—and don't forget to smile.
