Now before our episode begins, here's a quick word from today's sponsors. Hey friend and welcome to wake me up.

In this episode we'll be repeating gratitude affirmations which all begin with the powerful two words,

I am.

And I want to start by showing some gratitude as well.

I am grateful that you chose to be here.

And I don't want to be labor the point but it means a lot to me so thanks

now you can do these affirmations in any way you'd like you can repeat them out loud or just in your mind.

You can find a comfortable position, close your eyes, and settle into a meditative state.

Or you can simply listen along as you go about your morning routine, walking your dog, making

your coffee or your breakfast.

Do whatever works best for you.

No matter how you choose to do these affirmations though, let's begin by taking one nice deep breath,

just to collect and focus ourselves.

So inhale, fill all the way up through your chest and your belly.

Hold at the top.

And then exhale, release.

If you'd like to close your eyes, then now's a good time to do that.

And I'll go ahead and begin our affirmations. I am grateful to be who I am grateful for the person I'm becoming. I am grateful for the love in my heart. I am grateful for my body all it indoors and allows me to do. I am grateful for the wisdom of my predecessors.
