Welcome to Day 3 of this morning meditation series on how to start your day in a way that can change your whole life. Today's featured technique is the Energy Breath—a simple, invigorating breathing practice designed to wake up your body, clear mental fog, and help you step into your day with momentum and focus. You'll pair this breath with a steady intention so you're not just "getting through" the morning—you're consciously setting the tone for how you think, feel, and respond all day long. If you've been waking up sluggish, unmotivated, or already behind, this practice will help you feel more alive, centered, and ready to meet the day.

ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES

Welcome to a special meditation series all about how you start your day—because the first few minutes after you wake up can quietly shape your mood, your focus, your choices, and ultimately the direction of your life.

I created this series a few years ago, and I'm sharing it with you now as you finish out the first month of this year—because if you've been wanting a real shift, this is one of the most powerful places to begin.

Starting your day the right way isn't about being perfect or adding more to your to-do list; it's about creating a simple inner rhythm that helps you feel grounded, clear, and intentional before the world starts pulling at you. Over the next several days, you'll be guided through short, supportive practices designed to help you wake up your body, calm your mind, and set the emotional tone that can change everything.

This is day 3 of a 7-day meditation series, "Morning Meditation Series: Start Your Day Right and Change Your Life," episodes 2987-2993.

THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "Anxiety Reset Que Challenge"

Choose one daily "reset cue"—each time you touch a door handle, open your phone, or sit down, take one long exhale (or one round of your day's breath). Track it with 7 checkmarks (one per day) and notice the moment your body starts to relax faster—proof your nervous system is learning.

THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY

Day 1: Anxiety Reset Visualization

Day 2: Affirmation: "I trust myself to meet this moment."

Day 3: Anchor Breathing: inhale 4, exhale 6–8, repeat 8 rounds.

(If 6–8 feels too long, do 4 in / 5 out.)

Day 4: Prithi Mudra for clarity

Day 5: Third Chakra for compassion

Day 6: Anxiety Reset Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques
