209: Habit Practice ~ How to Reset Your Nervous System with Just Your Breath.m4a — The Habit Thrive Podcast ~ Self Care Habits, Mindfulness & Wellness Routines for Women 50 & Beyond

What is the absolute least amount that you can do right now to move, to shift, and to get unstuck?

The answer is remarkably simple: just breathe.

In this episode of the Habit Thrive Podcast, we are diving back into the world of "Movement Morsels" (a direct continuation of last week's Episode #208!). Today, we are exploring a beautiful, powerful truth: simply breathing is movement.

This is not your typical podcast episode. There is no formal intro or outro. Instead, after a very brief setup, Lorrie guides you through a short, powerful 3-minute Breath Practice designed to help you tune out the noise of the external world and tune into the magnificent, hidden choreography happening inside your body.

What You’ll Experience in This Breath Morsel:

The Anatomy of the Inhale: Learn how your diaphragm moves downward like a gentle piston, massaging your liver, stomach, and pancreas to create space and boost digestion.

The Hug of the Exhale: Visualize your diaphragm doming upward like an upside-down umbrella, nesting against your lungs and giving your heart a physical, soothing "hug."

The Internal Pump: Understand how this rhythmic internal tide filters out stagnation, shifts heavy emotions, and signals absolute safety to your nervous system.

External Release: Experience how tuning into your internal movement allows tight external muscles—like your neck, shoulders, and lower back—to completely melt and let go.

How to use this episode: I highly recommend downloading or saving this specific episode to your favorite player. Come back to it at different times of the day, in different circumstances, and notice how it moves you.
