Wake Me Up: Morning Positivity - Most Wonderful Day! 10 Min Morning Mindfulness Meditation
Episode Date: August 12, 2026A 10 minute guided morning mindfulness meditation using gratitude, visualization, and letting go to set you up for the most wonderful day ahead. Use this practice daily to start your morning grounded ...in gratitude instead of rushing straight into stress. Most mornings start scattered — reaching for your phone, running through your to-do list, carrying yesterday's stress into today before you've even had a chance to breathe. This meditation is the alternative. A few quiet minutes spent in gratitude and stillness, and you're stepping into your day already lighter, already open to good things — a small shift each morning that adds up to something much bigger over time. This meditation offers: - A grounding breath practice to release tension and settle your mind - A guided gratitude countdown to shift your focus toward what's already good in your life - A visualization of your day going wonderfully, so you start it already expecting good things - A letting-go practice to release the need to control every outcome and trust the day ahead - A closing declaration to carry that feeling of gratitude and readiness with you Make this part of your morning routine...listen while you're still in bed, while you're getting ready, or during your morning coffee. Be sure to listen all the way through...the section near the end is where the shift really settles in. Return to this practice every morning to enjoy amazing positive changes to your life. #morningmeditation Check out the Wake Me Up Mindset Coach app: http://studio.com/wakemeup.

Hey friend, I'm so glad you're starting your morning with me
and in this way,
because it means today is going to be a wonderful day.
And these next 10 minutes are how we'll set that in motion.
Make sure you listen all the way to the end,
because going through the whole practice is what makes this most effective.
So find a comfy position, seated or lying down.
Whatever's best for you.
Once you're there, let your body settle.
Take a nice, deep breath in,
expanding down into your diaphragm,
and as you let the air back out,
gently close your eyes.
If you haven't already,
let's take two more deep breaths together
just to help us soften and settle into the moment.
So inhale, filling all the way up and exhale,
just let the air fall back out
and feel yourself soften just that bit more.
One more.
Inhale and exhale.
Release.
Let yourself relax.
You don't have anything to do or worry about right now.
This time is just for you.
And that's such a nice feeling, isn't it?
Soften your face.
Unclench your jaw and let your shoulders relax down.
Now the most wonderful days almost always begin with the same thing.
Gratitude.
So let's start there by thinking of ten things you're grateful for this morning.
It doesn't matter whether they're big or small as each one comes to mind.
Count it on your fingers.
Great.
Now was that easy?
or did it take a little thought?
Either way is exactly right.
Sometimes we find it easier
to notice the things we usually overlook
like our bodies, our minds, our homes,
the people who love us.
Or this moment of peace and quiet,
bring to mind one person
you're especially grateful for.
Picture them clearly.
feeling that fuzzy warmth in your chest as you think of them.
And if you'd like,
you can whisper the words,
thank you for being in my life,
and just notice how that feels in your body.
Now let's use this feeling of gratitude
to shape the day in front of you.
Picture yourself moving through this day
with the same warmth and lightness.
with that ease and grace, see yourself handling anything that comes your way,
comfortably and calmly, see good moments finding you, small ones, and maybe big too.
You are open to amazing things happening today.
You're ready for a wonderful day.
Let yourself feel a little excited about that.
Now let's turn to the last part of our practice.
You've set your intention for a wonderful day.
But now it's time to let go of needing to control exactly how it unfolds.
You don't have to force today into shape.
You've already done the important part.
You've set your mind and your heart in the right direction.
So let go.
You can't control everything that will happen.
What you can control is yourself.
This is part of the mystery and joy of life.
So let go of trying to control everything.
And instead, allow life to surprise you.
Trusting that everything is working out for the best.
Even though, you won't always be able to be able
to see how in the moment.
Before we close, bring to mind three more simple things you're grateful for, taking one
final deep breath, envisioning, breathing in all of this gratitude, and as you exhale,
say either silently or out loud, I am grateful to be me and then slowly begin to gather
yourself. Opening your eyes whenever you're ready, you are all set and aligned for a wonderful
day now. I hope you repeat this practice every morning because you'll quickly see how dramatically
your life can change in amazing ways. So I'll meet you back here tomorrow morning. And until
that, go out and have a wonderful day. Real Canadian Super Super Super Super.
