223: Mindfulness for Fall: Breathe, Notice, Begin

223: Mindfulness for Fall: Breathe, Notice, Begin

Author: Lorrie Mickelson, Habits & Self Care September 26, 2026 Duration: 18:21

What might change if you gave yourself just one quiet minute before stepping into your day?


This week on the Habit Thrive Podcast, we're building on last week's pause by taking one small step further—into mindfulness.


Together, we'll explore how simply noticing your breath, including the quiet transitions between each inhale and exhale, can help you become more present.

From there, we'll gently shift our awareness outward, taking in the light, the sounds, and the subtle signs of fall all around us.


We'll also look at what research says about brief mindfulness practices and why even a few intentional moments can help us feel a little calmer, more grounded, and more prepared for the day ahead.


This isn't about adding another task to your morning routine. It's about creating a small ritual that helps you begin your day with greater awareness—of yourself and the beautiful season you're living in.


Take a deep breath, look around, and join me for one quiet minute.


I'd love to hear what you notice.


xoxo
