222: The Fall Pause—A Mindful Ritual to Slow Down, Breathe and Feel Grounded

222: The Fall Pause—A Mindful Ritual to Slow Down, Breathe and Feel Grounded

Author: Lorrie Mickelson, Habits & Self Care September 19, 2026 Duration: 13:22

Take a few minutes to step away from the busyness of September and simply...breathe.


As the excitement of a new season begins to fill our calendars with fall fairs, cozy sweaters, pumpkin spice, and thoughts of the holidays ahead, it's easy to move from one thing to the next without ever slowing down.


In The Habit Thrive Podcast's special guided pause today, we're not adding another habit to your list. Instead, we're creating space to simply be.


Together, we'll take a few slow breaths, settle into the present moment, and gently reconnect with ourselves before stepping back into the rest of the day.


If you've been feeling rushed, overwhelmed, or like the season is already slipping by, this episode is your invitation to pause, breathe deeply, and embrace the beauty that's already unfolding around you.


So light a candle, find a cozy spot if you can, and let's take a few quiet moments together.


xoxo

Lorrie
