Now before our episode begins, here's a quick word from today's sponsors.
Good morning. Welcome to Wake Me Up and to this guided morning meditation.
My friend, life is a special,
experience. Each day is a gift, even though some of them may not seem like it in the moment.
Every day has something to offer. A new experience, a new idea, a new page to write in the story
of your life. And when you start seeing things this way, you will begin to make so much more
out of life, and you'll be a lot happier along the way. This meditation is designed to help
you cultivate that mindset. So wherever you are, whether you're in bed or up and about already,
go ahead and find a comfortable position. And if you are starting this episode from bed,
I recommend that you sit up to meditate. But that's simply so you don't fall back asleep.
The truth is, you can meditate in whatever position works best for you, your body, and the space
you're in. And once you've found that position, just take a nice,
deep breath. Fill all the way up through your chest and your belly, hold at the top,
and then exhale, release, and gently close your eyes. And for this first moment of meditation,
why not just focus on letting go of any tension in your body? We often don't even realize
how much tension we're holding until we let go of it. So, you can
And soften your face, relax your jaw, drop your shoulders down, release your chest, your back,
and your hips, and just send that wave of relaxation all the way down to your toes,
just allowing the body to release and soften down. And while your focus is on the body,
Think of one part of your body that you appreciate.
And that might be very specific to you.
It could be very general, like your heart and your lungs.
Because they always are working in the background,
keeping you alive and moving.
And when you begin to think about your body in this way,
it's much easier to see that it's a gift, isn't it?
And in the same way, each day is a gift.
A weak opportunity to experience, to learn, and to witness the world around you.
Today is no different.
It's a blank page, ready for you to write the next chapter.
And there's so much freedom in that.
So as you take another deep breath, softening further and further down,
Imagine the possibilities that this day holds for you, the people you might meet, the smiles
you'll exchange, the things you can learn, and these don't have to be grand things.
You can simply appreciate the sound of the birds outside, the kindness of a stranger who holds
a door for you.
Every interaction, every moment is an opportunity for growing.
growth, for discovery, for unwrapping the gift of this day.
Now take another deep breath in.
And as you exhale, let go of any expectations or worries you might have about this day.
Any one day is never going to be a perfect gift.
And it doesn't need to be.
It's a gift simply because it exists.
Because you're here.
to enjoy it and appreciate how much control you have over this day,
how small actions on your part can make it feel more special to you and everyone else.
Things as simple as striking up a conversation with someone new,
giving a small word of recognition or appreciation,
taking a different way to work just for the scenery,
or setting aside time to catch up with an old friend,
envision what this day might be like.
If you took the initiative to treat it like a gift,
see the possibilities and the potential that spawns from this mindset down the road
by treating each day as a new gift,
you'll develop brand new and better relationships,
new experiences, all of this wonderful stuff about life,
is within your power to create today.
So set the intention to treat this day as a gift.
You have earned a special day like this.
You deserve it.
Now take one more deep breath,
filling up with all of the appreciation and excitement for this new day.
And as you exhale,
you can begin to bring yourself back to your surroundings,
back to the here and now.
And when you're ready, you can slowly open your eyes,
collect yourself, and come out of that.
Well, my friend, I really hope you enjoyed this meditation
and that it's left you feeling refreshed and excited for a brand new day.
Remember this feeling of potential as you move through the day.
Don't forget that every moment is precious.
Every experience is valuable.
So don't shy away from a new opportunity or a new person that sparks your interest.
It might be that special part of the gift that is this very day.
That's all I've got for now.
Thanks so much for choosing to be here and joining me for this meditation.
