Hey there, and welcome to Wake Me Up.

This week, we've been focusing on connection, trying to deal with feelings of loneliness.

There's nothing more important on this topic

than recognizing that connection requires effort.

You have to get out there.

You have to make plans with your friends. You have to say no to things you don't want to do.

So today, we'll zoom in on that.

And we'll end by building your self-confidence around your relationships

with smaff formations. If you're still in bed then I'd recommend starting

with Mondays Wake Up and Stretch, which will get you up and out of

bed and then you can come back here to get motivated if you'd like.

But wherever you are, whatever you're doing, just pause for a moment.

Think of one person that you're grateful to have in your life.

Anybody, they can play a huge role or not. Take a

breath in

and on your exhale send out a silent thank you to that person

for being in your life.

Now think of one more person that you're grateful to have.

And take another inhale, filling all the way up with appreciation for them.

And exhale, send out a silent thank you to them them for taking part in your life.
