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

Hey there, good morning, and welcome back to wake me up.

I'm your host Tyler as always,

and I'm so thankful that you're here today.

My friend, we all and I'm so thankful that you're here today.

My friend, we all know that life is unpredictable, chaotic even.

One second, you think you know exactly where you're going and the next the rug is yanked

out from under your feet. Sometimes we find ourselves wondering what happened and like we can

never catch a break. Things just refuse to line up

like they're supposed to. How are we supposed to keep direction, peace of mind and clarity in a world that seems devoid of stillness?

Well, the answer is much more straightforward than you might think, and it's easily accessible, because the answer

is inside of you.

And this week, that's what we'll be working on.

Finding peace within when there is chaos all around.

And one of the most important aspects of this skill set is staying present. So let's put that into practice now before we dive

into this episode. Just take a moment to pause. Really allow yourself to slow down and focus on where you are and

what you're doing right now. I'll get out of the way for a second so you can do that. Inhale and hone in on that sensation of air entering your lungs.

Hold. Hold and then exhale and release any thoughts that are grabbing for your attention. You don't have to give them your energy.

You can just allow them to float away.
