Good morning.
I'm Sam and this is a confidence and motivation boosting meditation for having a kick-ass day.
All you have to do for this meditation is breathe.
Big breaths in and big breaths out.
In and out.
Keep breathing over and over and repeat the words you hear in your head.
That's it.
This morning I want to wake up with intention.
I intend to have a great day.
I intend to laugh and I intend to smile.
I intend to go out of my way to help another human being.
I intend to text my family and friends and tell them I love them out of the blue.
I intend to skip down the sidewalk.
I intend to find a song on the radio and sing along loudly,
Despite the fact that I can't sing,
With the windows down,
During the rain.
Today I will not just go through the motions.
Oh no.
Today I will drink my first cup of coffee like it is my last.
I know that it is not my last.
It is probably the first of many today.
But holy guacamole,
This cup smells really good.
And I am sure the next one is going to smell better.
Today I am going to walk through my abode and notice each and every thing I like about the place.
The pictures of my beautiful wife and handsome dog.
The lime green shag carpet that everyone else hates.
The cards on the fridge.
The house plants on the sill bravely carrying on despite reckless over-watering.
Today I am going to fully appreciate the blessings that I have before I even set foot out the door.
Because I am so blessed to have the things that I have.
To be breathing.
To be thinking.
To be walking over this beautiful planet on this beautiful rug.
Because I am here.
I am alive.
I have been through the wringer.
The world has thrown haymakers and body blows at me and I have survived.
I have triumphed.
I have worked and worked and worked and persevered and I am still here.
Still kicking ass.
Life is a bowl of oranges and today I intend to take them and smash them in my palm above my face and drink the juice.
You want one of these?
No problem.
I've got the whole bowl.
Today I am here.
Today I am present.
And today is going to be an awesome day.
