Join host Martin Hewlett for a gentle, transformative session dedicated to shifting your perspective from lack to abundance. In this episode of Calming Anxiety, we explore the concept that our mindset is like a pair of glasses—sometimes we just need to wipe away the smudge of stress to see the world clearly again.
Whether you are struggling with low mood or simply looking to build a resilient morning gratitude routine, this guided meditation will help you "clean the lens." Together, we will use mindful breathing to clear the mental fog and powerful positive affirmations to rewire the subconscious mind for peace.

In this episode, we cover:

• Breathwork for Clarity: Using the breath to blow away the "grey dust" of the day and draw in mental clarity.
  
• The Lens of Gratitude: How to gently shift your focus to notice the small miracles in everyday moments.
  
• Nervous System Regulation: allowing the beauty of the world to soothe your anxiety and bring you instant peace.
  

Martin’s Top 3 Tips for a Happier Day: To help you keep this "lens of beauty" clear, try these practical mindfulness hacks today:

1. Look Up: When you walk outside, shift your eyeline to the sky or treetops. Changing your view physically changes your mood.
   
2. Find One Texture: Ground yourself by touching something real—a wooden table or the bark of a tree—to connect physically with the present moment.
   
3. The 5-Second Pause: Before you eat or drink, pause for just five seconds to appreciate how good it looks. A tiny moment of gratitude makes a huge difference.
   

Affirmations used in this session:

• "I choose to see the beauty of the world around me".
  
• "I notice the small miracles in everyday moments".
  
• "I allow the beauty of this day to bring me peace".
  
• "I am grateful for the life that surrounds me".
