The podcast Where Morning People are Made.

I really appreciate you tuning in this morning.

As we all know, life is full of ups and downs.

The ups, well, they're easy to enjoy. The downs, not so much. And even sometimes, the down moments

may feel like they'll never end.

Though the downs certainly won't be as enjoyable as the ups, we can learn to make the best of them

and get through them more easily.

And that's what we'll do today. But whether you're currently

in a slump or not, I'm sure this episode will leave you feeling refreshed, uplifted, and ready to start your day.

So, let's jump right in.

Wherever you are, whether you're joining from bed or if you're already up, take a big breath in.

Hold it, and then exhale.

Let's do one more of those together.

So inhale,

pause at the top, and then release.

Just let it all go. Now when we're in a slump, one of the best things we can do is to focus in on our core necessities. One of those is the body.

So we're going to do a few stretches to begin today.

These are designed to be done lying down.

So if you're in bed, great, just stay there.

If you're up and about already, that's fine too.
