Now, before our episode begins, here's a quick word from today's sponsors.
Good morning.
Welcome to Wake Me Up and to this daily morning routine for happiness and success.
This is designed so that you can start it from bed,
but you don't have to if you're up and about already.
We'll start with a moment just to pause,
gather ourselves, and then I'll guide you out of bed
for a quick stretch as we transition to about five minutes of meditation time,
and then we'll end with a bit of inspiration.
So, wherever you are,
Just take a moment to pause and appreciate that you've woken up today.
It's not a given.
Life hangs on a thread.
And so many things have already happened in your favor just to bring you here to this very moment.
This isn't an opportunity to be taken for granted.
But it's also not a moment to put too much pressure on yourself.
Life is a gift, and it's meant to be enjoyed.
So, among all of the goals and aspirations that you have, which are wonderful things,
don't forget to smile, to laugh, to not take yourself too seriously, let the pressure off a little bit.
Choose to be the real you, to put your time and effort into what really matters today.
And with that, take a nice deep breath, filling all the way up, first into your belly,
and then your chest.
And as you slowly exhale, if you're in bed, go ahead and roll over and make your way up.
And once you're standing, let's take one minute just for a quick stretch.
It really helps to get the blood flowing.
So plant your feet firmly on the floor, about shoulder with the part.
Stand up straight.
Reach the crown of your head towards the ceiling.
And then as you inhale, stretch your arms up over your head.
Reach as high into the sky as you can.
And then exhale, fold forward at your waist.
And just hang out here for a moment.
In whatever way feels best for you.
Maybe you want to bend your knees slightly.
Maybe you want to sway side to side.
Maybe you just want to sit still.
Whatever makes sense for you.
Just don't forget to breathe while you're here.
Now slowly roll yourself all the way back up.
Vertebrae by vertebrae.
And once you reach the top, stretch your arms back overhead one more time.
And then let everything relax.
Fantastic.
We'll turn to a few minutes of meditation.
So find a comfortable position that works well for you and your body and the space you're in.
I do recommend that you sit up, but that's simply so you don't fall back asleep.
And once you've found that nice comfortable position, again, just take a deep breath in, hold at the top, and then exhale, release.
And as you let that air out,
Just allow your eyes to gently close.
And as you settle in here,
just following that rise and fall of your breath,
remember that there's nothing you can do right
and there's nothing you can do wrong here.
Simply by taking this time,
you are successfully meditating.
The purpose is to allow the mind to have time to process and unwind.
to control it. Don't try to force clarity. Just let the thoughts happen. Through this process,
the mind will slowly become more still, more quiet, more calm. You're doing great.
We've got about one more minute of meditation before we wrap up. Okay, my friend,
it's about time to wrap up our meditation. So begin to begin to be.
bring yourself back. Notice whatever supporting your body. Feel that touch, that sensation.
Notice any sounds going on around you. And take one final deep breath in. The deepest one you've
taken yet today. Hold at the top. And then exhale, release. And when you're ready,
you can slowly open your eyes. Gather yourself. Come out of that.
and continue on with your morning.
And my friend, as you go about this day,
I hope that you remember
that you have another beautiful chance at life,
a fresh start,
a brand new chapter.
Consider what kind of person you want to be today.
Because the beauty of life
is that we can create anything with it.
If you want,
you can be someone completely different
today than who you were yesterday.
If you want, you can just be a better version of who you were yesterday.
You can be more confident, more kind, more intelligent, more chill, more relaxed.
You determine your own adventure.
And that is the excitement of this day and this life.
When you give yourself the freedom to try this.
these different things, you will eventually find your way to happiness and success.
And you'll probably do it much faster than you would otherwise.
Because success and happiness are all about being you.
The people who have both, they know this.
They know they aren't trying to be someone else or fit some mold to who they are.
And they make the most of the cards they've been dealt.
So my friend, have a look at yourself in the mirror.
Flip through those cards that you have in your hand.
And decide what's the move you want to make today?
Who is the version of you that you want to show up as?
What changes do you want to make?
What amazing things do you want to keep intact?
And once you've decided, be proud of things.
be proud of that.
Believe in yourself.
And go.
Share that amazing version of you with the world.
Now that's all I've got for you today.
I really hope you enjoyed this episode
and I hope you save it and come back here
to share your morning routine with me every day.
I know it would put a smile on my face
and I hope it does the same for yours.
So until tomorrow,
go out.
and have an absolutely fantastic day.
