Now before our episode begins, here's a quick word from our sponsors. Hey there, and welcome to Wake Me Up. I'm your host, Tyler, as always, and I'm so glad you're here. This week, we're fostering a mindset that will help make sure you have a fantastic day every day. And today, we're back for a meditation, a visualization to be more specific, that will help to reset your mind so that it's open to the idea that today can be fantastic. Remember, life throws all kinds of things at us, but the kind of day you have is in your power,

because it's all about your mindset. And let's be frank. Our mindset, our view of the world can change from day to day. So today, let's make sure we're in the mindset of creating a fantastic day. So go ahead and find a comfortable position that you'd like to meditate in. I recommend that you meditate sitting up, but that's simply so you don't fall asleep. We all have different preferences and, different spatial constraints.

So do whatever works best for you. And once you've found that comfortable position, just allow yourself to settle in. Let go of any tension that you're holding on to. Let go of any thoughts about yesterday or what's going to happen today. You've chosen to be here now. So allow yourself the freedom to do that.

Everything else will be waiting for you when you're done. Now let's take a deep breath in, fill all the way up, and as you exhale, slowly close your eyes. Use this first moment to continue settling in. And here's a few things that can help you do that. Softening your face, dropping your jaw, relaxing your shoulders down. And for the next 30 seconds or minute or so, just follow the natural rise in front. fall of your own breath. And as you do, it will take you deeper and deeper within.

Hopefully you're nice and settled in now. So begin to visualize yourself walking along a path. And let's call this path the path of life, the path of your life. It may be long and winding. It may be exciting or boring at times. But no matter where your path has taken you up to this point, it has led you exactly here, exactly now. You know the twists and turns that you've passed through already.

Because those were the twists and turns of your own life. And now the path has brought you to a river There's no way around. There's no bridge. You have to cross this river to keep going forward. And you may not want to cross the river. It might make you uncomfortable in some way. Part of you may think it's easiest to just sit and not go any further.

But something in you knows that crossing this river is the best thing for you to do. It's the only option to keep moving forward. So you take your shoes off and you hold them in your hands and you step into the river. You begin to cross. You feel the water creeping up your shins a little bit farther with each step. And as you walk, carefully and taking your time, you notice something streaming off of your body

into the water, something colorful. And as you look closer, you see reflections in it, this stuff streaming off of your body. It's all of the things you're carrying with you that have been holding you back, bringing you down, leading you to overthink, and making you feel less than you are.

You can even make out exactly what those, things are when you look into the reflections in the water. You can see them washing away. The river is clearing these limitations from you. So you continue on watching all of these limitations release from your body. With each step through the river, you feel lighter and more free. And when you finally reach the other side, all of those things that used to hold you back, those things that used to constantly bother and worry you while they've washed away. They're gone from your life, and you realize that your path of life brought you here

now to this meditation so that you could cross this river, feel this liberation, this new lightness to your body and your mind so that you can carry on and have a fantastic day and live a fantastic life. So you turn around and you face the river and you thank it for clearing all of these limitations. You thank your path, whatever force brought you here, you're grateful for it. because without it, you'd still be carrying the weight of all of those limitations. And then you put your shoes back on, you turn around, and you continue moving forward along your path of life into this brand new day,

free of everything that's held you back before, free to create the day and the life that you seek. You can let go of that visual and just let your mind wander for about 30 seconds before we wrap up. It's time to finish up our meditation now

so begin to bring yourself back. Notice whatever's supporting you, whether it's a chair or the floor or something else. Notice the air on your skin and any sounds going on around you. Take one final deep breath in and as you exhale, slowly open your eyes,

and just take a second to collect yourself. Well, my friend, I hope you enjoyed that meditation, and I hope that you are feeling a bit lighter, a bit freer, and most of all, I hope you're excited to carry on with this new day. Remember, life is mostly about how we react to what happens. So choose to have the mindset of creating a fantastic day. Choose to receive whatever happens open-mindedly.

Try to accept before you react. And try to see everything as an opportunity. If you can do those things, then your days will start getting better and better, I'm sure of it. But that's all for today. I'll be back tomorrow with some affirmations on this same theme, and I really hope to see you there. Until then, go out and create a fantastic day.
