How to Catch Your Breath When Your Mind Won't Pause


I opened my eyes. It was still dark outside. A glimpse on my phone - 4:13… Ah, that is far from waking up.
I turned around wanting to sleep. But my mind was racing. One thought after another, that seemed like a freeway with high traffic that you simply cannot stop.

I tired to breath. I tried to relax. Nothing helped. Till I started meditating. Later I woke up from my alarm at 7:30.

Luckily, I have years of meditation practice. So at night I knew what to do, what would work for me.

But what if you are new to this - not knowing where to start? Or mindfulness is not yet a part of your routine, where you can easily find self help?

Luckily, I have a place for you to start. Let me introduce to you Stephanie Lewis, a mindfulness and wellness coach who believes that mindfulness isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey.

For her, the journey didn’t start with sitting quietly in meditation—far from it. “My mind felt too “hot,” overflowing with thoughts racing so quickly that stillness seemed impossible. (And at the time, I didn’t know that mindful awareness of the racing mind was actually part of the practice.)

On her journey Stephanie tried different practices. Over time, she discovered that mindfulness could meet her where she was, no matter what life looked like. And she has experienced the profound physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits of consistently engaging in a variety of mindfulness practices.

That’s the beauty of mindfulness—it’s as flexible as you need it to be.

That’s also why Stephanie created Practice Mindfulness Everyday, a free resource filled with a variety of ways to bring mindfulness into your life. Whether it’s savoring the textures of your meals, pausing to notice the colors of a sunset, or connecting with nature on a walk, these practices are simple and adaptable to your day.

If you’ve ever felt hesitant to begin a mindfulness practice, or if sitting meditation feels out of reach, know that there are many paths to mindfulness.

Start where you are, in your way.
