Hey there, good morning, and welcome to Wake Me Up.

I'm Tyler, your host, as always, and I'm so thrilled to have you here with me.

This is a wake-up and stretch. And I'm so thrilled to have you here with me.

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, mastering yourself. And this doesn't mean being perfect.

It means understanding yourself, knowing what fuels your fire or burns you out, leaning into your strengths and mitigating your weaknesses.

Leonardo da Vinci said,

one can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself.

Truly, the journey of life is a journey of learning and mastering yourself and this week

we'll take strides toward doing just that. Now let's go ahead and get started.

This episode is designed so that you can start it from bed,

but if you're already up and about, that's just fine,

it'll work perfectly well for you too.

Wherever you find yourself right now, just pause for a moment.

And let's take a few deep breaths together.

So inhale, fill all the way up.

Hold at the top,

and then exhale, release.

Once more now, inhale, filling even deeper this time.

Hold and release.
