I'm your host, Tyler, as always, and I'm thrilled that you're here today. My friend, optimism and a positive mindset aren't things that we're born with. They're frames of thinking that we have to cultivate and practice all the time.

Starting point is 00:00:47 This meditation is designed to help you do that. No matter what you're going through, no matter what phase of life you're in, this meditation will help you go through your day and your life with a more positive, optimistic mindset. So go ahead and find a comfortable position that you'd like to meditate in. And if you're starting this episode from bed, I do recommend that you at least roll over and sit up to meditate. But I know that we all have different bodies and different spaces. So do what works best for you. And once you've found that position, just allow yourself to settle in.

Starting point is 00:01:36 Take a deep breath, inhaling, and filling up through your chest and your belly. hold at the top and then exhale and release and just gently close your eyes. In the first moment of meditation, the mind is usually the busiest. So don't worry if it's jumping off to what you have to do later today. Simply remind yourself that you chose to be here now and meditate. You're taking this time for yourself. Everything else going on in your life will still be there when you're done. So just take another deep inhale.

Starting point is 00:02:35 Collect all of those things that are nagging at your mind. And on your exhale, let them go. Blow them away and sink deeper into whatever's supporting you. Soften the muscles of your face. Drop your jaw and relax your shoulders down. And now that you're nice and settled in, Bring to mind something in your life that you feel is going well right now. And it can be anything big or small.

Starting point is 00:03:48 It doesn't really matter. It can be as complex as your career goals or as simple as the dinner you made last night. Just pick something that feels like a source of positivity in your life right now. And just bring that to mind. Remember the way that it makes you feel. Notice why your brain wants to come back to it. Simply appreciate that you have this source of positivity in your life. It just goes to show that there are always good things in life.

Starting point is 00:05:11 It's just a matter of whether you choose to look for them or not. And now bring to mind a relationship in your life that feels like it's one of the more positive ones. And again, it might be a big, important relationship or a relatively small one. It doesn't really matter. What matters is that when you interact with this person, you feel seen, you feel heard. More often than not, a smile comes to your face, and you enjoy your interactions with them. Appreciate that not all interactions in life are like this. And this too just goes to show that there's always something positive to find in life.

Starting point is 00:06:35 It's just a matter of whether we choose to look for it. So take a moment just to send a silent thank you to these sources of positivity in your life. Consider what might happen if you simply reallocated a little bit of time, away from those things in your life that feel more negative. and put it towards things like these that feel more positive. Isn't it possible, if not likely? That you would feel more happiness, more joy, more positivity, more fulfillment on a daily basis. Might you feel healthier, more confident, more excited about your life?

And all you have to do is that simple reallocation, that simple refocusing of the mind and your time and effort, towards those things and people who already make you feel good. So just take the last moment here and enjoy that feeling when we're about to put ourselves. into something that we know will feel good. All right, well, it's about time to wrap up our meditation. So begin to bring yourself back.

Starting point is 00:09:34 Notice whatever's supporting you, whether that's a chair, the floor, or something else. And take one final deep breath in, the deepest one you've taken yet today.
