Good morning, everyone, and welcome to wake me up.
The podcast, Where Morning People Are Made.
I'm your host, Tyler.
Thank you so much for choosing to listen in this morning.
I hope you're feeling well and excited about today.
How we experience life is all about our perspective.
Today, our perspective will be one of positivity.
so that no matter what happens, we can see it as something that improves our lives.
Now, we've got a wonderful day ahead of us.
Now, let's go ahead and get started.
You can just listen to my voice as you begin to wake up,
and over the next few minutes, we'll do that process together.
You can open your eyes and maybe roll onto your back,
take in some of the morning light,
maybe where you are, the sun is shining,
or maybe it looks a little dreary outside.
But either way, it doesn't really matter all that much.
The weather is the perfect example of something we can't control.
But just because we can't make it stop raining
or be that perfect temperature doesn't mean we can't have a great day.
Some of my favorite memories are being cooped up during a snowstorm.
So you can choose to look at the snowstorm.
at the weather as a hindrance to your life, or you can look at it as an awe-inspiring happening
of nature that changes the way you get to live life. It keeps it interesting. You can blame life
on your circumstances, or you can make the most of them. And so as you wake up this morning,
soak in this mentality of making the most of what today gives you. You can't expect the world to
unfold perfectly today.
Expectations are the shortcut to disappointment.
But you can expect that you'll do the most with what does unfold.
If you get stuck in traffic, well, maybe the world just wanted you to sing out loud in your car.
And if you get soaked by rain, well, maybe you just needed an opportunity to laugh at yourself.
So take a big stretch for a moment here.
just lying in bed.
Anything that feels good to you.
We just want to start to get the body moving.
And as you do that,
think about what a perfect day would look like for you.
Now consider whether a perfect day would look the same to you
throughout the course of your entire life.
Chances are, your view of what makes a perfect day
has changed and it will change into the future.
And that's probably the most freeing realization.
Because it means you get to decide today whether it's a perfect day.
And it has very little to do with what happens to you.
And very much to do with how you see what happens.
So let's choose to see things with that bit of positivity today.
And on that note, take a deep breath in and then just let it all go.
You can roll over in bed.
Swing your feet around and put them on the ground.
And when you're ready, stand up.
