Now before our episode begins, here's a quick word from our sponsors. Hey there, and welcome back to Wake Me Up. I'm Tyler, your host, and I'm so glad. that you're here. This week's episodes have all been geared towards creating a great day, taking on a mindset

that encourages you to see positivity and opportunity, rather than negativity and closed doors. Today, we'll continue on with that idea in this inspirational episode. So remember that a brand new day lies ahead of you with unknown possibilities. and opportunities. And I know we've all heard the phrase, Carpe Diem, perhaps so many times it may have lost its meaning. But what if you decided that this day

was the day you were finally going to seize life? That this was the day where everything changed for the better can be that day. You just have to choose to make it so. There's no perfect day to start on the journey of a new life. It doesn't have to be January 1st. It doesn't have to be your birthday.

And if you're waiting for some special day to arise, then you're probably waiting for the wrong reasons. So choose now to start today. And before you dive into this day, just take a second to pause. Remember why you want to change. why you want to improve your life and what's going to get better when you do. Now take a deep breath and fill up with gratitude for this chance, this life you have.

And as you exhale, let go of all of the things and all of the people who have held you back up until now. Choose in this moment to be free from your past. and to create the future you desire. The choice is yours. The power, the knowledge, and the tools are all within you. I congratulate you on this new journey. Feel free to continue going about your day. Or just lay back and listen along if that's more your style.

Either way, what if I told you that today would be. be a perfect day. What would that look like, given the circumstances of your life? I certainly can't answer that for you. And you may not know exactly what that looks like for yourself either. So just take a moment now to imagine what that might look like. How would this day go if everything went perfectly? Take 20 seconds just to envision that now.

great. A visualization like this, which is a much shorter version of the visualization we did in Monday's meditation, is a really powerful tool that you can use to help conjure a great day. Because when you see something in your mind, it makes it easier and more likely that you bring it into reality. But no matter how you visualized your great day, there is one weakness to this visualization. And it's that life never goes exactly as we planned. So here are two other simple but powerful tools you can use to help keep your great day on track.

The first is affirmations. Simply a positive phrase to repeat to yourself if and when something unexpected throws your day for a whirl. Just like the affirmations we did yesterday. So think now, what would be a good affirmation to repeat to yourself when you encounter a bump in the road or even a rude person? Maybe something like, I choose to remain positive, would work well for you. Or maybe you have something better in mind. Whatever it is, repeating a line like that in your mind can help you collect yourself, re-center, and keep creating.

the best day you can. So use it to your advantage when something unexpected arises. And a second tool you can use is gratitude. Because some of the most unexpected things end up being the best things in life. And you never know when that's going to arise. So be grateful for every unexpected happening. Even if it ends up being a setback, that's okay. Because everything is an opportunity to learn,

and grow. And that's always something to be grateful for. Simply put, you have the power to make a perfect day happen, whatever that looks like to you. You have the power to start that thing you've always wanted to. And the reward you will find in that is priceless. My friend, your perfect day is within your reach. But you have to be the one.

to go out and get it. It can't happen without you. You have to choose to create that day. And of course, there will always be things out of your control, unexpected bumps in the road, or rain clouds hiding a clear blue sky. But there is so much more that is in your control. And it's those things that will determine

how you're able to handle everything that comes your way. Your power and your trump card to every unexpected happening is your mindset and your choices. The choice to remain positive. The choice to see opportunity. The choice to strive for happiness. And the choice to do what brings you joy. It doesn't require you.

you to make any life-changing or grand decisions. Great days and happiness come through the accumulation of many little positive moments. One single thing never determines at all. So think of all of those little details which you can control to make this day simple and perfect. And consider what shifts you can make. This very morning, to make your day as close to perfect as possible. You can set yourself up so that no bump in the road can ruin your perfect day.

And it all begins with that choice. So as you face the opportunity ahead of you, I'll ask you this one more time. What kind of day do you want to have? I hope that you choose to have a great one. So go out and make it happen. Your perfect day is waiting for you. Well, that's all for today.

Thank you so much for tuning in and listening. It always makes me feel great to have your company. I hope that you take the messages in this podcast to heart, because I truly want the best for you. I'm proud of you, and I know you can make the life that you dream of a reality. So until next time, make that life happen by creating a fantastic day.
