Now before our episode begins, here's a quick word from our sponsors.

Hey there, good morning, and welcome to wake me up.

I'm your host Tyler, as always, and I'm so thrilled that you're here today

for this meditation that will help clear and

calm your mind for the day ahead. No matter what you have going on today, whether

you're expecting a really great fun day or a stressful one.

You can nurture a positive and optimistic mindset that will help you make the most of it.

We'll do some very simple breath work and I'll leave open space so that you have sufficient

time to let your mind unwind. 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 make your way up to a seated position.

But that's simply so you don't fall back asleep.

Truthfully, you can meditate in any position.

So do what works best for you.

And once you've found that comfortable position,

take a deep breath in, fill all the way up through your chest and your belly.

Hold, and then exhale, release, and slowly close your eyes.

mentally set aside anything else.

Mentally set aside anything else that's on your mind.

Whether it's thoughts about the past or the future, it doesn't matter right now.
