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

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

In this episode, we'll be getting out of bed and warming our bodies and minds for a great day through some gentle

stretching and positive thinking. And you can start this whether you're still in bed or up and moving already.

But whatever you're doing now, just take a second to pause.

You chose to be here and to listen to this episode and I bet you did that for yourself.

So take this time just for you.

Before the day begins and everything else starts pulling at your

attention. And let's take a deep breath in together.

So inhale and fill all the way up.

Hold it at the top and then exhale and release nice and easy. And remember, friend, that life isn't accomplished in a single day. So no matter how you feel right now, whether you're tired and groggy or full of energy and ready to go,

you can move your life forward today. You can get one step closer to that life you dream of,

that goal you're striving for, that version of yourself you hope to become.

And doing that doesn't require anything grand.

All it takes is a little effort, a little attention each and every day.

And over time, that will build into something beautiful.

So choose today to believe in yourself, just a bit more than you did yesterday.

Reach just an inch farther. than you did yesterday.

Reach just an inch farther than you did yesterday.
