Hey there, and 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. This week's episodes are all based on a common theme, listening.

Oftentimes life is so go-go, so productivity-based

that we often get lost in a world of telling ourselves what needs to be done, rather than listening to what we want

and what we need.

An old Arabic proverb says this.

The smarter you get, the less you speak.

Friends, we don't learn by talking.

We learn by listening.

People will tell you how to make this week, we'll start our days by listening.

Now, let's get started. I recommend you start this episode in bed, but if you're already

up and about, don't worry. That's just fine. Wherever you find yourself right now,

just pause for a moment.

Take a deep breath in fill all the way into your belly.

Hold it at the top and exhale, enjoy that long slow release.

Once more, inhale, filling even deeper this time.

Hold and exhale.

And while you're here in this moment of peace and quiet, just listen to yourself.
