Hey friends, welcome to Wake Me Up.

It's Tyler, your host, as always.

Thanks for being here.

We're back today for a meditation on this week's theme, listening.

And today's meditation will be very simple, but it will help you listen to your thoughts more objectively.

It'll help you listen to your thoughts more objectively. It'll help you change your relationship

with your thoughts by adjusting the framework with which you listen to yourself.

You see, it's really common to feel like your thoughts control you rather than the other way around,

but we are not our thoughts.

Thoughts are just firings of the neurons in your mind. They can be really useful, they can be hurtful,

and they can be completely random too. So how we listen to our thoughts can drastically change

our relationship to them and in turn our relationship with ourselves.

And it's that relationship, that approach to how we listen to our own thoughts,

which today's meditation is all about.

So let's go ahead and jump right in and get started.

Go ahead and find a comfortable seat anywhere in your home. Just don't sit in your bed.

And you can sit in any position that feels right for you, but just make sure that you're comfortable and you're supported.

You don't want to be holding on to any tension or doing anything that's going to distract you.

Once you found that seat, just take a deep breath in, slowly fill all the way into your belly.

And on your exhale, just close your eyes, nice and soft.
