Hey friend, good morning, and welcome to Wake Me Up. I'm your host, Tyler, as always, and I'm so thrilled that you're here today for this movie, food-boosting morning meditation.

No matter what state your mind is in right now, in the next 10 minutes, we're going to clear it out and fill it with positive ideas so that you look forward to this day ahead and make the most of it. So go ahead and find a comfortable position that you'd like to meditate in. As usual, if you're in bed, then you know that I at least recommend you roll over and sit up. But that's just a suggestion, and it's only so you don't fall back asleep. You can meditate in whatever position makes you the happiest. And once you've found that position, just allow yourself to settle in.

Mentally put aside anything else you have going on after this, that your mind might be trying to run away to. That stuff will still be there when you're done. You've chosen to take this time for yourself. So do that and do it fully. Now let's take a nice deep breath in, fill all the way up, hold at the top, and then exhale, release, and slowly close your eyes. During this first moment of meditation, that's when the mind tends to run the most.

That's perfectly fine and normal. One little trick is that the state of the mind follows the state of the body. So if you'd like to relax your mind, you can begin by relaxing your body, maybe softening the muscles of the face, dropping your jaw, letting your tongue fall from the roof of your mouth, and relaxing the shoulders down. Now that we're nice and relaxed, let's first turn to one of the best ways to change your mood. And that's deep breathing. So, just follow my lead, filling all the way up with each breath. Hold, and then exhale. Let that exhale be nice and long.

Take more time with the exhale than the inhale. Breathe in, filling up all the way through your chest, your belly, hold, nice and slow. Just let the air fall out. Don't push it. Each breath, a little bit deeper than the one before it. Hold at the top and exhale. Once more. Inhale.

Hold. Now keep taking deep breaths just like that. But feel free to adjust the pace to something that feels more natural to you. We want those breaths to be deep, but nice and smooth and easy as you're breathing. Imagine a rink. a radiant light, starting from the center of your body. With each breath, you're fueling this light. It becomes that bit brighter with each inhale and exhale.

Energy. Feel it's spreading through your body inch by inch. With each breath, moving across your chest and your back, over your body, over your hips, down your shoulders, all the way to your hands, down your legs, and all the way to your feet. It begins to spread up through your neck, to your head, bringing clarity, focus, energy, vitality, relaxation. It fills every cell, every muscle, every fiber of your body. And once it's filled every part of you, it has nowhere else to go, but to keep spreading.

And so with your next deep inhale, this light begins to expand beyond you, forming a luminous aura around you, such that you're so full of energy. You're beginning to fuel the world to see that inner light, connecting with everything in your immediate vicinity. It radiates farther and farther with each breath. Spreading that energy, that warmth, that love and tranquility all across the world. Eventually, it wraps the entire world with your beacon of joy and hope and happiness. You have fueled not only yourself with this energy, but everything else in the world around you too. You've transformed it into a brighter, more peaceful and harmonious place. Wonderful.

Now that your mind is clear and you're filled with energy, let's turn toward two positive ideas. First, think of a reason you love to be yourself, and it can be anything, a hobby you have, a personality trait, a skill you've honed and developed. It can be as simple as a good joke you told one time. Anything that makes you feel good about yourself. And second, think of something that you're looking forward to about today.

Meeting up with a friend or two. Your exercise routine. Or even laying down in your bed at night. Imagine channeling all of this energy. All of this light that you just created towards that moment, towards that thing that you really care about in your day. If you have no other reason, live fully today for that moment. Conjure the best version of yourself.

Even if it's only for that. Well, it's about time to wrap up our meditation. So begin to bring yourself back. Notice whatever's supporting you, whether it's a chair, the floor, or something else. Notice any sounds going on around you. Take one final deep breath in. The deepest one you've taken yet. Hold at the top.

And then exhale, release. And if you had your eyes closed, then now's a great time to reopen them and slowly come out of that. Well, my friend, I hope you enjoyed that meditation and that you're feeling full of energy and positivity. now. Know that you do have the power to create positivity, love and happiness anytime. And you can spread it everywhere you go to. Whenever you're feeling a bit down where you need a little pick-me-up, just come back here and refuel that inner light, that spark that ignites you from within. And I'm sure that it will help you create the best day that you can. But that's all I've got for Thanks so much for choosing to be here.

I never take it lightly to have your company. It always means a lot. I hope to see you back here soon on Wake Me Up. And until next time, go out and have an absolutely fantastic day.
