Good. Morning. And welcome to wake me

2:01

up. This morning meditation

2:03

is designed to help you get out of

2:06

bed when you're having a tough start to

2:08

the day. Now

2:10

I now getting out of bed to be ours

2:12

when you feel like you have nothing to look

2:14

forward to. But this

2:16

meditation will help you find things to

2:19

be positive about. even if you don't

2:21

think you can find any. I promise

2:23

you can. And

2:26

you can do this meditation in any

2:28

position that you like. I

2:31

usually recommend they set up just

2:33

out to the body going in,

2:35

the blood flowing. So

2:38

this do whatever feels right for you

2:40

and your body in this. And

2:46

begin by just taking a nice

2:48

deep breath and gently stretching your

2:50

body out. take

2:52

up much space as feels

2:54

comfortable, This

3:01

You want to. He's in close

3:03

your. Now

3:12

they are many reasons that make it hard to

3:14

get out of bed. But

3:16

whatever it is for you, it doesn't really

3:18

matter. Because

3:21

your body and your mind

3:23

have an amazing ability to

3:25

adapt. So

3:28

whatever is holding you back at this comment. As

3:31

perfectly fine. To

3:34

take another nice deep breath. Selling

3:38

all the way up to your chest in

3:40

your billie. And

3:45

as you exhale, just allow all of

3:47

the tension in your body. To

3:50

relax. Maybe

3:53

your head hurts? Maybe your

3:55

muscles hurt. A

3:57

be you're just tired. Maybe

4:01

it's an emotional recent that you

4:03

don't want. Get up. Whatever

4:07

it s, just breathe

4:09

into that. The

4:14

when you exhale. Split

4:16

from your body. And

4:19

allow yourself to so sit

4:21

and relax just a bit

4:23

more. That's

4:28

right, Once

4:30

more inhale. And.

4:36

Exhale softening even

4:38

further. Now.

4:51

Bring to mind something

4:53

about you are morning

4:55

at you have. No

5:00

matter how small it might be, It'd

5:05

be something as simple as enjoying

5:07

a cup of coffee. Seen

5:10

a friend or loved one. The

5:14

pleasing better patter of rain

5:16

outside. Or

5:19

that sensation of the sun

5:21

on your face. So

5:29

see you do have things to

5:31

look forward to today. Even

5:34

if they're simple. a small. It

5:37

doesn't make them any less enjoyable. And

5:43

as your day goes on, But

5:45

you'll find more things. That

5:49

will keep you doing and making the most

5:51

of the day. But

5:56

for now. Why

5:58

not just acknowledge and feelings

6:00

of resistance or reluctance as

6:02

you may have about the

6:04

day. Don't

6:08

shy away from hard feelings. The

6:12

more you can look at them. The

6:14

better, you'll be able to conquer them.

6:20

And appreciate that it's okay to feel

6:22

this way that you do. Instead

6:27

of trying to push the ceilings away, Do

6:31

exactly what you dead as any tension

6:33

that was in your body. Hold

6:37

them gently in your awareness. Breathed

6:40

into them. And

6:45

when you exhale, expel them from

6:47

your body. And

6:54

remember. Or

6:57

ceilings are temporary. They're

7:01

just like clouds passing

7:03

in the sky trains

7:05

yet and impermanent. And

7:10

our feelings don't happen to us. They

7:13

happen for us. Their

7:16

information that we can use

7:19

to make better choices and

7:21

to improve our lives. And

7:29

if you're like most people

7:31

said, plenty of ceilings, plenty

7:33

of moments like this. Then

7:37

you know that they all pass

7:39

in due time. To

7:44

try to accept whatever

7:46

moment this is for

7:48

would is. And

7:51

begin to let him move into the

7:54

past. Because

7:58

the next moment. There's

8:00

already here and waiting for

8:02

you. And

8:06

in this moment. You

8:08

can choose to put your mind on

8:10

something more past that has. So

8:14

why not just take this moment

8:17

to focus on gratitude? By

8:20

bringing to mind something that you're grateful

8:23

for. Again,

8:25

doesn't matter how big or small. Can

8:29

be the warm severe bad right now. Or

8:33

the sound of the birds chirping outside?

8:37

It can be your best friend. Or

8:41

simply the fact that your

8:44

allies and breathing. At

8:48

never something to be overlooked. So

8:55

whatever it is for you, Hold

8:57

this gratitude in your heart.

9:01

And take another deep breath. Selling

9:04

up with that positive energy, And

9:09

the next sale. Release.

9:16

Very good. Inhale again even

9:18

deeper this time. And

9:25

Xl. Ah.

9:33

Lastly, Bring to

9:35

mind again. That

9:37

saying that you have to look forward

9:39

to this morning. The

9:43

one you've thought of earlier. Maybe

9:46

it's a refreshing shower cap, car

9:48

seats, a walk with the dog,

9:50

or that ceiling of the sun

9:52

on your face. So

10:00

your enjoyment of that thing is not

10:04

so far away, it's not

10:06

so difficult. And

10:10

perhaps it sounds pretty nice to

10:12

go do that now, doesn't

10:15

it? So

10:19

why not start your day easily with

10:22

something like this. Simple,

10:26

small, with

10:29

a little bit of pleasure in it. That

10:34

doesn't seem so bad, does it? So

10:41

take one more deep breath in, deepest

10:45

one you've taken yet today. And

10:50

then exhale, release. And

10:55

if your eyes were closed, then

10:57

I'd recommend using this moment to

11:00

reopen them. Gather yourself

11:03

and come out of that. And

11:06

begin moving towards that

11:08

pleasing, positive activity that

11:10

you're looking forward to this morning.

11:24

Now I hope that you enjoyed this meditation,

11:27

and that you carry these positive thoughts and

11:30

feelings with you throughout the day. Remember

11:34

that life is a long-term game.

11:38

Every day is not our best day, but

11:41

you can still show up today and

11:43

just give what you've got.

11:46

We all know that some days are better than others, but

11:50

each and every day holds

11:52

new opportunities and experiences

11:54

to be grateful for. So

11:56

don't miss out on the magic that this

11:59

day holds. That's

12:03

all I've got for now. I

12:05

12:08
