Now before our episode begins, here's a quick word from our sponsors. Good morning and welcome to Wake Me Up. I'm your host, Tyler, as always, and I'm so glad you're here today. This week's episodes have all been based on a single mantra. This too shall pass. And that comes from the idea of impermanence, that everything is temporary.

And that means the good moments in life, the bad moments in life, and even life itself. The sooner we can embrace this idea, the sooner we can really start to seize every moment that we're given. and we can align our actions and how we spend our time with what we really want out of life. Today, we're back for some affirmations on this same theme. And positive affirmations

are a really helpful tool with ideas like this, things that we want to repeat and really drill into the core of our values and our beliefs. So if you're in bed, use this moment to roll over and make your way up

and out of bed. It's a great time to get this beautiful day started. Don't let it slip by. And once you're up, you can do these affirmations in any way you'd like. You can simply listen along as you go about your morning routine, making breakfast or going for a walk, whatever it is you like to do. You can repeat them out loud or in your mind. Or for the deepest experience, you can find a comfortable position, close your eyes, and settle into a meditative state. But no matter how you choose to do these affirmations, let's begin by taking one deep breath together. So inhale and fill all the way up deep into your belly. Hold at the top and then exhale and release.

Just let the air fall back out. Fantastic. Now, let's begin with our affirmations. My life is always happening right now in the present moment. I acknowledge the past, but I don't dwell on it. I look forward to the future, but I live for the life I have right now. I do not fear loss or change. They are opportunities for a new beginning. I focus on the things that I can control in my life. I accept that all things will come to an end. I savor each and every experience.

I find joy in the journey, rather than focusing solely on the destination. I accept that all people and relationships are temporary. I am not defined by my circumstances, but by my response to them. I find strength in adversity, knowing that it too shall pass. I recognize that all things,

good or bad, will not last forever. I am at peace with the ebb and flow of life. I embrace and appreciate each moment for what it is. I find beauty in the temporary nature of life because it makes each moment more precious. All right, fantastic. Let's go through all of those affirmations, one more time.

I am at peace with the ebb and flow of life. I embrace and appreciate each moment for what it is. I find beauty in the temporary nature of life because it makes every moment more precious. All right, great job. That's the end of our affirmations. So let's wrap up in the exact same way we started. With a

deep breath. Now inhale and fill all the way into your belly as deep as you possibly can. When you get to the top, take an extra little sip of air and hold and then just let all of the air go, release. And if you had your eyes closed, then now's a good time to open them. All right, my friend, I hope you enjoyed those affirmations and the rest of the episodes this week. Everything in life is temporary, even life itself. So when you feel stuck in a tough moment, remember, this too shall pass. Find strength and resilience in yourself because you've faced tough moments many

times before, and you've always made it through. But the same holds true for those high moments, those moments of celebration. really savor them and cherish them because they too will come to pass. And the more you can appreciate and see objectively the ebbs and flows of your own life, the more you'll find balance through the changing currents and tides

that life throws our way. Well, that's all I've got for now. Thanks so much for choosing to be here with me today. It really means the world to me. I hope you've enjoyed this episode, episode, and I hope you go out and have an absolutely fantastic day.
