In this brief guided meditation, the speaker invites listeners to recall a vivid moment when they felt fully alive—whether it was a laugh, the scent of a sleeping dog, or a meaningful hug. Emphasizing that such moments are not trivial but constitute the "big thing" in life, the speaker underscores that external achievements like job titles or wealth cannot diminish the authenticity of these experiences. Listeners are then led through a simple breathing exercise: inhaling while committing to notice one small thing today, holding the breath, and exhaling with comfort. The piece concludes with a personal note from Mike, a call to share the meditation with others, well-wishes for safety, happiness, and ease, and an invitation to learn more about Mike via the website www.theartofmondaymorning.com, expressing love and gratitude.

Chapters

Welcome. I'm so glad you're here. Think of a moment you felt truly alive. Maybe it was laughing so hard you couldn't breathe, the smell of your dog's fur while they sleep, a hug from someone who really knows you. Those moments aren't small. They're not consolation prizes for a life that's supposed to be about something bigger. They are the big thing. No job title, No amount of money in the bank makes the wind on your skin feel any less real. Please take a breath in, and as you do, commit to yourself that today you're going to notice one small thing. Just one. Let it be enough, because it already is. Hold. And exhale with the comfort that brings. Here's a brief note from Mike. Thank you so much for listening. I truly hope this is helpful. If you think someone might benefit from this, please share it with them. May you be safe. May you be happy. May you live with ease. If you'd like to learn more about Mike or reach out to him directly, please visit www.theartofmondaymorning.com. We are both sending you so much love. Thank you.
