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

Hey there and welcome to wake me up.

And I'm so glad that you chose to be here today.

This week, we're talking about the idea of being your true self,

letting go of the tension that's created

when we're trying to be something we're not,

and relaxing into who you truly are.

And today's meditation will help you connect with that innate understanding you have for yourself,

for your own needs and your own desires. You'll connect with the true you, the relaxed you, the one

that's comfortable to be who you are. And through that, hopefully you'll find it easier

to be the true you day in and day out.

Now, if you're in bed, use this moment to roll over, make your way up and out of bed.

And find your way to a comfortable position that you'd like to meditate in. I recommend that you

meditate sitting up but that's simply so you don't fall back asleep. You can

meditate in whatever way works best for you and the space you're in.

And once you've found that position, just allow yourself to settle for a moment.

Let go of any physical tension that you're holding on to.

Allow yourself to relax. and mentally put aside anything you have to do after this meditation is over.

You chose to be here. So be here fully. Everything that you have to do later
