Wake Me Up: Morning Positivity - No Motivation This Morning? Listen to This When You Wake Up
Episode Date: September 2, 2026A inspirational morning talk for the days you wake up with no motivation in the tank, built around presence, focus, and taking action before your own doubts get in the way. Listen immediately when yo...u wake up, even if it's just running in the background while you get ready. This one's meant to set the tone before your day has the chance to set it for you. Motivation doesn't show up because you had a good night's sleep or a productive week. It shows up because you decided, on purpose, before anything else got a vote. That decision takes only a moment, and it changes everything that comes after it. This motivational talk covers: - Why waking up at all is worth treating like a win, not a given - The mental trick behind "whatever you focus on grows," and how to point it somewhere useful - Letting go of an audience that was never actually paying attention - The one phrase to repeat when you don't feel like getting up: get up, do the things, own your life - A simple nightly habit that trains your brain to keep finding the good This episode is designed for daily listening. Be sure to save it for the mornings when motivation is lacking... because that's exactly what it's built for. And if today you end up doing just one percent more than you would have otherwise, that's means its working! #motivation #morning #morningmotivation Check out the Wake Me Up Mindset Coach app: http://studio.com/wakemeup.

It's the time of year when crisp, clean sheets, a soft duvet,
and an extra layer or two really make a difference.
Quince has become one of my go-toes for bedding
because the quality is so good, it's affordable,
and it really feels amazing.
Whether you prefer the relaxed feel of linen
or the crisp softness of cotton,
Quince makes it easy to create the bed
you'll actually look forward to getting into.
I got a new comforter from Quince,
especially for the summer.
I still like the feeling of having something heavier on top of me,
but I need it to be lighter.
so that I don't get so hot.
And I've got to tell you, it's worked fantastically for me.
And it's not just bedding either.
I've really come to like Quince's clothing and apparel as well.
So this fall, make your bed your favorite place to be this season with Quince.

If you're like me, you really need to clean out your closet
because there's a bunch of old clothes in there
you keep saying you'll wear, but you never do.
You might be running out of closet space
and wanting to refresh your wardrobe
without spending a ton of money.
Or maybe you're even looking to turn
all of those old clothes into a little extra cash.
And that's where Vented can be helpful.

Chances are, you're here because you can barely stand the idea of getting out of bed today.
And the good news is, you found exactly where you should be right now.
We all have times like this.
Even the happiest, most energetic people wake up some days and just don't want to get going.
So let's begin by acknowledging that it's okay and it's perfectly normal that you feel this way.
There's no need to slip into catastrophic thinking, falling into negative self-talk,
like telling yourself you're unworthy or a failure.
But it is also important to recognize that this moment presents you with a choice
and how you respond to this choice in moments like this
has an overwhelming effect on who you become
and what you accomplish in life.
It's been proven over and over again by scientific research.
And that life-altering choice you're faced with right now is this.
Are you willing to deal with discomfort?
That's it.
It's not that deep or philosophical.
It's not that heavy.
It's a simple choice.
Even though you're tired, even though you don't feel your best,
even though there may be something going on in your life,
like a breakup, a health issue, or a career setback.
Are you willing to still get up?
Do your best with the energy you do have.
and continue showing up for life.
This simple choice is what sets apart
the happiest, the healthiest,
and the wealthiest people in life.
And I'm not just talking about financial wealth.
I'm talking about wealth in all its forms.
You see, it's not the circumstances you woke up with
or you were born with that determine who you are.
It's how you respond to.
to them. So I'm going to make this even easier for you. All you have to do is choose to continue
listening along for the next few minutes. I'm simply going to ask you a handful of questions,
which are all but guaranteed to inspire you, help you work through that tiredness or that slump
you're feeling right now. Because one thing's for sure, by choosing to be here and listen this
far, I already know that you're the kind of person who's willing to face some discomfort
to make the best out of their life.
So just set aside for a moment whatever's got you down, whether it's just a night of bad
sleep or something more.
And in its place, think of a few things or people that you're grateful for.
I can get you started with some really easy,
ones, like the simple fact that you woke up today, that you're breathing, that you're sensing
this crazy world around you, that you get all of these opportunities and experiences,
you get the highs of celebration and wins, you get the lows of a breakup and a loss,
You get the pure joy of giving and receiving love.
Life is full of things we perceive as both good and bad,
and they're both necessary.
You'd never know how good something could feel if you didn't know the opposite.
It's this contrast that makes the journey of life worthwhile.
Now, think of something, anything.
no matter how big or small, that you have to look forward to today.
Maybe it's as simple as a warm cup of coffee to help you get some energy going.
Maybe it's a game you can play with your friends or a family member tonight.
Maybe it's just feeling the warmth of the sun on your face or that pleasant sound of rain outside.
You see, even with the discomfort of this moment, there's still
plenty of joy and pleasant sensations to experience today.
No matter what you're going through, no matter what problems you face, there's an almost
infinite amount of good for you to find in this day. And it's often when we least expect it,
like on days when we wake up with no motivation, that the best things happen. So don't miss out
on all of the wonderful things that could be coming today.
This might be the day that you've been waiting for for so long.
And we already know that you're the type of person
who's not afraid of a little discomfort
because you know the best things are on the other side of it.
So go ahead.
Get yourself up.
Knock that dirt off your shoulder.
And don't let a little lack of motivation
hold you back from what could be an absolutely fantastic day.
