Now before our episode begins, here's a quick word from today's sponsors. Hey friend, 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 mood boosting morning meditation.

No matter what state your mind is in right now, in the next 10 minutes we're going to clear

it out and fill it with positive ideas so that you look forward to this day ahead and make the most of it.

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

As usual, if you're in bed, then

you know that I at least recommend you roll over and sit up.

But that's just a suggestion, and it's only so you don't fall back asleep.

You can meditate in whatever position makes you the happiest.

And once you've found that position, just allow yourself to settle in.

Mentally put aside anything else you have going on after this,

that your mind might be trying to run away too.

That stuff will still be there when you're done. You've chosen to take this time

for yourself, so do that and do it fully.

Now let's take a nice deep breath in.

Fill all the way up, hold at the top, and then exhale, release, and slowly close your eyes. During this first moment of meditation, that's when the mind tends to run the most.

That's perfectly fine and normal.
