154: My #1 Breath Practice for Managing Overwhelm and Reclaiming Calm

Author: Lorrie Mickelson, Habits & Self Care May 31, 2025 Duration: 17:07

Deep breath in.


Long, slow breath out.


Repeat.


What a crazy, mucky May it has been!


As we move into June on the Habit Thrive Podcast, we’re spending Episode #154 today on my #1 breath practice for managing overwhelm and remaining calm.


The best thing about this breath practice: You can practically do it anywhere!


In fact, I recommend pairing it with some form of movement:


Walking - around your yard, along the beach, even laps around your kitchen island!

Organizing - picking up and tidying your desk clutter or taking stray socks to the hamper

Yoga poses

Stretches


You may find, after some movement and deep breathing, that you’re more relaxed and ready to settle in to the rest of your day.


Love,

Lorrie xoxox
