Thanks so much for you. for listening, and I hope you have a fantastic day. Hello, everyone, and welcome to Wake Me Up, the podcast, Where Morning People Are Made. I'm Tyler, and I'm your host. Today's morning routine episode is inspired by a text conversation I had with a friend the other day. We were talking about what to wear, so clearly nothing all that serious. And I said, just wear whatever makes you the most happy.

And when I hit send on that message, I thought, you know, we should all be doing that, not just with what we wear, but with everything in life. I decided I should make an episode about it. And here we are. So thanks to my dear friend for the inspiration. And to everyone else who's a regular listener of the show, if you were ever wondering where I get these ideas, now you know. They come from my everyday life.

And of course, some of them are your wonderful ideas that you share with me too. Now, let's go ahead and get this wonderful day started. We'll take the next few minutes to wake up and slowly get out of bed. And you can just listen to my voice while we do that. First, let's go ahead and open our eyes. Enjoy some of that morning light. Now let's take a couple of deep breaths together, just to get some air flowing. So inhale, hold at the top, and then exhale.

Just let it all go. No need to use any force. One more. Inhale, hold, and exhale. Ah, that's great. So go ahead and stretch out in bed a little if you'd like. You have a couple minutes to do that now. My favorite thing is to reach for all four corners of my bed, but you do whatever feels the best for you.

I really want to encourage you to do that, because today we're going to focus on doing just one thing. And that's just doing whatever makes you the happiest. That's it. That's all we're doing today. Making yourself happy is both a skill, and you're just doing. and a choice. You've got to choose to do it, and you have to know how to do it. Now, every single one of you has chosen to show up here this morning

and listen to wake me up. So I suspect that you're all choosing to be happy. The next question is, how do we make ourselves happy? And it really just takes two things. Understanding yourself enough to know what will make you happy, and then having the courage to do it. And like I said, this is a skill. That means all you have to do is practice it a little,

and you'll get better and better at it. Trust me when I say, this is the kind of skill worth practicing. The happier you make yourself, the better you feel, and the more you'll want to make yourself happy. It's a cycle that builds. builds on itself.

And to be honest, I'm feeling happier just talking about it. So what do you say? Let's go ahead and get up and get this day started. Take a deep breath in, roll over in bed, put your feet on the ground, and make your way to standing up.
