Hey there, welcome to Wake Me Up and to this guided morning meditation to help you prepare your mind for a successful day. My friend, success is largely about two things, preparation and showing up. And you're already well on your way to doing both of those, because you've chosen to be here to get yourself in the mindset to create a great day. So give yourself a bit of congratulations

Starting point is 00:00:55 already. And as you do that, go ahead and find a comfortable position that you'd like to meditate in. I do recommend that if you're starting this episode from bed, that you at least roll over and sit up, but that's simply so you don't fall asleep and miss out on this great day that you're about to create. The truth is, you can meditate in whatever position works best for you, your body, and the space that you're in. Once you've found that comfortable position,

Starting point is 00:01:31 just allow yourself to settle in, mentally set aside anything else that you are doing, before this or you have to do today, you've chosen this time for you. Because you know that's necessary to make the most of your day. So just allow everything else to fade away for now. Inhale, take a nice deep breath, hold, and then exhale, release, and you can go ahead and gently close your eyes. Let's take one more nice deep breath together.

Starting point is 00:02:24 inhale, fill all the way up, and then exhale, release, and just let go of everything else. Simply be here for now, and you can rest your attention on the rise and fall of your breath. At whatever pace feels natural to you. Nice and easy, nice and smooth. effortless. And try to let go of any tension, any force or extra effort that you're using. As most of us have experienced,

Starting point is 00:03:31 our greatest successes come when we're not over-trying, when we're comfortable, when we're confident, when we believe in ourselves that we have everything we need to succeed. And that's the truth. You do have everything you need.

Starting point is 00:03:58 So let go of that tension. It's not helping you. Soften your face. Drop your jaw. Relax your shoulders down. And just take this moment to consider what a successful day means to you. What's your definition of a successful day? Because that definition is different for everyone.

Starting point is 00:04:46 and your own definition might even change from day to day. So what does the successful day look like for you today? Visualize what the rest of your day will look like by your definition of success. What are you going to do with this time you've been given, with this opportunity, and recognize that there will be surprises and setbacks. Everything isn't going to go exactly as you plan, but you can still remain on course. So what are you going to do when those surprises and setbacks arise? What kind of attitude would be most helpful for you to respond with?

Starting point is 00:06:36 And recognize that a successful day is as much a feeling as it is a score that you can put down on paper. It's feeling like you did the best that you could with the cards that you were dealt this day. So take this moment to consider how you can create that feeling of a successful day, no matter what comes up, no matter what happens. Maybe you can treat yourself with extra kindness, care, and respect. Maybe you can treat others the same way too. maybe you can zoom out a little farther from the moment to moment actions and see how the activities of this day are progressing you forward on the longer timeline of life.

Starting point is 00:08:16 Now that you've visualized what this successful day might look like and how you can create that feeling no matter what happens, repeat to yourself, I have the power to create a successful day today. Again, I have the power to create a successful day today. Now it's about time to wrap up our meditation. So begin to bring yourself back. Notice whatever's supporting you, whether that's a chair, the floor, or something else.

Starting point is 00:09:47 Feel that touch of the air on your skin. Take one final deep breath in. The deepest one you've taken yet today. Hold at the top. And then exhale, release, and slowly open your eyes, just taking a second to gather yourself and come out of that. Well, my friend, I hope you enjoyed this meditation and that you're excited for the day ahead.

Starting point is 00:10:29 Remember, you have the power of choice. You are the creator of your life. which means you can make this day into whatever you want it to be. And you've already taken a giant leap towards that by choosing to be here, by preparing your mind, by setting the intention for a successful day. Because remember, success is really just about two things. Preparation and showing up.

Starting point is 00:10:58 Now you're fully prepared. And all you need to do is show up and make this day the best it possibly can be. So go out and have an absolutely fantastic day.
