Hey there, welcome to Wake Me Up. I'm your host Tyler as always.

And this is a Wake Up and Stretch episode

where we'll get out of bed and prepare the mind and body for a great day.

I've noticed that many people are going through tough times at the moment,

and I'll admit I'm not immune to that either.

I thought perhaps some of you may be dealing with the same thing,

so this week's episodes are all designed to help you get through tough times.

But even if you're riding high in life,

I'm sure you'll still enjoy them too.

Now let's jump right in and get started.

Maybe you're joining in from bed today and dreading the idea of getting up. Or maybe you're already up and about and that's just fine too.

But wherever you are, let's all just pause for a moment.

And let's take a couple of deep breaths in.

So fill all the way up, deep into your lungs.

Hold at the top,

and exhale, release, just let the air fall out.

Once more, inhale, filling even deeper this time.

Hold and release.

Enjoy this few seconds of peace and quiet.

And no matter what's going on in your life right now, just zoom out on this moment. Look at your life as though it's a timeline, full of ups and downs, trials and tribulations.
