Publisher's summary

Think of five things you're grateful for and five things you're looking forward to today - one can even be simply the sun on your skin. Soak in these good feelings and use this frame of mind to set an intention for your day.

Jesse Israel was a successful music executive running his own label when debilitating anxiety and panic attacks forced him to step back and seek help. When he found meditation, it inspired him to switch gears in a big way. He founded The Big Quiet, a mass meditation movement that gathers thousands of people for large-scale moments of quiet around the world (including for Oprah’s 2020 Vision Tour with WW).

Guided by leading experts and personalities in wellness, morning meditations are brief listens focused specifically on helping you start your day on the right foot. They don’t require any previous experience - they're easy to get into and designed to help you take a moment each morning to simply check in with yourself.

This title is part of the Audible Sleep Collection, exclusive audio experiences created to help you fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up in the right morning mindset. New and free for members.

Good to set your intention for the day but...

I found the music/violins to be a bit off putting. The narrator did a very nice job, but for me the music is just a little too shrill and not background enough to really relax into this meditation. Just my opinion though!

Easy, gentle, grateful

This meditation is easy enough for absolutely anyone. You focus on things you already know and how they feel in your body and mind. It's a gentle, quick gratitude practice that I hope to make part of my morning routine. It will be different each day!
