Thanks so much for you. for listening, and I hope you have a fantastic day. Good morning and welcome to Wake Me Up, the podcast where morning people are made. This morning routine is designed to help you be the person who you are, the person who you want to be, and tune out all those other voices who have opinions about your life. Now, what do you say we get this day started? As you wake up this morning, you can just listen to my voice. And over the next few minutes, we'll slowly take our time getting up.

Enjoy this moment of tranquility before you have anything else to do. Today, let's take a nice stretch in bed. So bend your knees, bring your feet together, and slide your feet up towards your bottom, just about halfway. And then let your knees open out like a book. You'll feel a nice opening on the inside of your hip. And you can just breathe gently into that. Slowly, it will begin to relax more and more. In fact, let's take a few deep breaths together.

Inhaling, pausing at the top, and then exhaling, just letting it all go. One more like that. Inhale, hold it just for a second. And then exhale. Now, as we are beginning to wake up this morning, let's set an intention to, for the day, to be undeniably and unabashedly who we are. We have all kinds of pressures in life, to do certain things or to be a certain way, and these pressures come from all directions, family, friends, society, TV, and media.

But you have full autonomy and control over who you are, how you think and what you do. When you've grown old and you look back on life, do you want to say, I did everything that everyone else wanted me to do? Or do you want to say, I did everything that I wanted to do. I hope you choose the latter. And this doesn't mean that we go around hurting other people. All it means is that you are unique and special. No one else is like you.

and you were put on this earth just as equally as everyone else. Your unique way of doing things is important. Many people focus on making sure that they please others. Or conversely, they focus on not being like someone that they don't admire. But these are both limiting and usually negative ways of focusing our attention. You'll never be able to please everyone completely. and you can't be just like that person who you don't admire because you're not them,

so you don't need to stress about that. Today, let's take that energy and reframe it in a positive way. Let's just be us. You be you, I'll be me, and let's all do that 100%, not worrying about what everyone else thinks. Just try it on for today, but I think you'll find it quite freeing and invigorating.

Now then, let's get this day started. Gently bring your knees back together and feel free to use your hands to help with that. And then just take a big stretch in bed, whatever feels good to you. And once you finish that stretch, take a deep breath, roll over in your bed, put your feet on the ground,

and stand up.
