Thanks so much for listening, and I hope you have a fantastic day. Hi, everyone, and welcome to wake me up. The podcast, where morning people are made. Like always, I'm Tyler, and I'm your host. And I am so glad to have you here with me this morning. Today's episode is designed for one thing, to clear your mind. I'll still be guiding you like always, but I'm going to do a little less talking and give you a little more time and space

to let your mind clear out before the day begins. Let's go ahead and get started. As usual, we'll begin by just opening our eyes if you haven't done that already. Take a deep breath in, fill your lungs all the way up, and then just let it fall back out on the exhale. Perhaps your mind is already running with thoughts or trying to plan out your day.

And that's okay. Just let it run for now. There's no need to control it. Just give it some time to unwind. Right now, while you have nothing to do yet. Remember that these are just thoughts. Random firings of the nerves in your brain. And they don't have to define you or your day.

As you let your thoughts run, let's do some simple stretches in bed. Now you may want to adjust the covers, just to give yourself a little space, but you certainly don't have to if you just want to get wrapped up in them instead. And start on your back. Bring your knees into your chest. Wrap your arms around your knees

and just give a gentle squeeze. We don't want to push anything too hard right now. Now let go of your knees and let them fall over to the right, keeping your back flat on the bed, So now you're in a gentle twist. And again, there's no need to use any force with these stretches. We just want to wake the body a little.

Maybe your knees fall all the way over. Maybe they only go part way. It doesn't matter. Just do what feels good for you. Okay, bring your knees back to center and just reset for a second. Once you've done that, you can let them fall over to the left this time. again keeping your back flat on the bed. Okay, now return to center.

And let's go ahead and get this great day started. So take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, roll over in bed, swing your feet around, and make your way to standing up.
