Hey there, my friend, welcome to wake me up and to this meditation that's designed to help you nurture a growth mindset and find inspiration to chase your dreams.

This is a great practice to do each and every morning, to remind you of what you want to prioritize in life.

But of course, you can do it at any time of day as well.

So go ahead and find a comfortable position that you'd like to meditate in.

If you're starting this from bed, I do recommend that you sit up.

That's simply so you don't fall back asleep.

The truth is, you can meditate in any position that works best for you, your body, and the space you're in.

And once you've found that position, take a nice deep breath, filling all the way up into your chest and then down into your belly hold at the top and then exhale release and gently close your eyes.

For this first moment, just allow any distractions, any noise of the outside world to drift away.

Focus your energy on nice, smooth, long breaths in and out.

Allow yourself to sink just that bit more. And as you settle, and as you settle deeper and deeper within, I invite you to imagine yourself at the base of a beautiful mountain. And this mountain represents your journey,

your path of growth and achievement.

It's peak. and achievement. Its peak reaches high above,

calling for you to reach it.

You may feel anticipation, a bit nervous, or even a sense of doubt.

Doubt as to whether this is the right peak for you to climb. Doubt as to whether this is the right peak for you to climb.

Doubt as to whether you can actually climb it.
