The podcast where morning people are made.

And as usual, I'm your host, Tyler.

Friends, life is full of great stuff, but it's also got plenty of things that are not so great, and usually it's somewhere

in between.

Today's episode features a meditation that's designed to help you make the most of

everything whether it's good, bad, or somewhere in the middle. But before we get there, let's take a moment to rise and wake up a little.

So whatever you're doing, just pause and take a big breath in.

Feel the air fill all the way into your lungs,

expanding deep into your belly,

hold it at the top,

and then exhale,

letting it all go easily and freely.

let's do that once more just to get the oxygen flowing.

So inhale and again fill all the way up. Hold it at the top and then release.

Fantastic.

Now, before we all get up, why not think of one reason you are excited to be living today on this particular day? It can be as simple as a plan to have coffee with your friend, or good weather,

or perhaps it's a special day like your birthday.

Whatever it is for you, there's always plenty of reasons to be grateful. Because you're alive, your breathing, and you're on this epic adventure called life.

So let's not waste another moment of it.

Take one more deep breath in and as you exhale, roll over in bed and make your way to standing up. Now that we're all out of bed, let's loosen up real quick and help get the blood flowing through the body before we sit back down for meditation.
