Today, I have a special gift I made for you.
It’s a rejuvenating Mid-Day Meditation Break.
You see, I wake up at 6:30am everyday.
No, it’s not because I want to be productive and get a jump on the day. And no, it’s not because I think that’s when ‘successful’ people should wake up.
I have a baby. And that’s when she wakes. So, I don’t have much of a choice.
And if you know me, you know I am NOT, by any standards, a morning person.
If I had my druthers, my eyes wouldn’t open until 7:30 at the earliest. That’s just the way my body likes to roll.
Yes, it’s lovely seeing the morning sunlight, but mama would rather have my morning sleep, if I am being truthful.
As a result of this newer wake-up time, my energy for the day really starts to peter out in the afternoon. Around 3 pm it sort of feels like I’m done-zo for the day. And yet, there is often still a little more I want to accomplish.
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen that I posted what I do to replenish my energy.
It’s so easy and it’s seriously SO good.
I basically lay on the floor, let the weight of my body go completely, and I breathe. A lot. With some lovely music. And I let the whole day just melt into the floor.
And when I’m done and I get up, it feels like I went to a spa, got a massage, AND sat in the steam–but I didn’t even have to redo my hair and makeup.
It’s that good. 🙂
Since I knew you might like to try it, I recorded a laying down Mid-Day Meditation Break for you.
It’s short and sweet.
And all it requires is that you have a floor to lay on. (If you are in an office, perhaps you can close your office door or find a quiet corner somewhere. If you can’t find a spot to get on the floor, simply do this sitting down. It still totally works!)
Right click or Command Click on this link to save the meditation directly to your computer.
Once you do it, leave me a comment and let me know what you think.
Did you feel rejuvenated afterward? Did you feel like you were able to squeeze a little more juice out of the day?
If you did, consider forwarding this blog post to a friend, so they too can feel the good juju from a mid-day break.
Because whether you’re a morning person or not, we could all use some more good juju, don’t you think?
With love,
Erin

The music is so cool and unique! This sounds great, and I can’t wait to try it in the middle of a challenging day at the office.
This exercise is so invigorating and healing! Thanx a lot for this empowering moves
How sweet! Thanks, Erin, that’s very generous of you! I TOTALLY agree about the not-a-morning-person thing:) Can’t wait to try it this afternoon…
Hi, the recording wouldn’t play for me. A natural afternoon pick-me-up sounds great though!
It won’t play for me either 🙁
Perhaps try in another browser?:)
Very cool, thanks Erin
It downloaded but wouldn’t work
Perhaps try a different browser?
