Good morning. I'm Tyler, and I'm so glad to have you here with me for another episode of Wake Me Up. The reason I'm so excited is because I know today is going to be a great day. And how do I know that, you ask? Well, it's because each of us is going to go about our day spreading good vibes.
Starting point is 00:00:40 And so the world is going to be that much better today. So let's get started. I want to begin by telling you a little story from my week. I woke up earlier than usual one morning, so I decided to go for a walk and treat myself to a cup of coffee. I strolled over to my favorite shop and put in my usual order. To my surprise, someone who had come through the line before me was buying coffee for the next ten people in line.
Starting point is 00:01:15 Some anonymous person, for no apparent reason at all, had decided to do a kind deed for a handful of strangers. And I thought to myself, wow, that's really far too rare of an occurrence. Such a small gesture that undoubtedly made all ten of us beneficiaries a bit kinder to everyone else we encountered. It inspired me to spread the love around the rest of the day. I was extra generous with thank yous, and I made sure to tell people what I appreciated them for. And today, I'll be spreading the love like that again, and I encourage you to join me. But we can't do that lying in bed.
Starting point is 00:02:02 So take a deep breath in, as you exhale, roll over in bed, and make your way to standing up. Now that we're all standing, let's do one quick stretch to help wake the body. So take an inhale and reach your hands to the sky. Reach as far as you can. And maybe reach back a little bit so your back arches. on your exhale, fold forward at the waist, and just let everything hang towards the ground. Relax.
Starting point is 00:02:55 Let your neck soften. Let your face soften. You can sit still if you want, or you can sway side to side, or alternately bend one knee and then the other. Do whatever feels right for you. All right, now slowly begin to roll all the way back up to standing. and when you get there, roll your shoulders up and down.
Starting point is 00:03:41 Now feel free to make your cup of coffee or your cup of tea. Start going about your morning routine. And while you do that, I'm going to send you off with a little inspiration. The world is a crowded place. We're bound to bump into one another and get in each other's way from time to time. But that doesn't mean the world has to be a crowded place. place of negativity. We don't have to treat everyone else with animosity. We can choose to offer kindness and respond with respect. Imagine what the world would be like if we all were a bit more generous,
Starting point is 00:04:28 a bit more understanding. There's no doubt that collectively we'd all have better days. So today, make a point to spread some love around. Of course, you can pay for the person behind you in line at the coffee shop, but you don't have to. You don't have to do any grand gestures or spend any money. You can take one minute to write a thank you email to someone who helped you out recently. You can hold the door for someone instead of letting it close on them. You can hand out appreciation like it's everybody's birthday. And the best part about spreading the love is that it comes right back to you.
Starting point is 00:05:17 The more good we put into the world, the more there is to go around. On that note, I want to tell you how much of a pleasure it is for me to share these mornings with you. It makes me smile every week when I get to make these episodes. And though I know you can't see my face when you listen, you should know that I'm smiling because of you. So my friend, whatever you've got in your plans for this day, be sure that you find some time to spread a little love. Well, that's all for today. Thank you so much for tuning in.
