  Morning where we are practicing our mindfulness activities.

• 00:11 - 00:16

  Remember mindfulness means to be in the present moment

• 00:16 - 00:21

  to focus all of our energy, our mind our body.

• 00:21 - 00:27

  We are focusing all of that energy into this moment right now.

• 00:28 - 00:31

  Not thinking about recess or lunch,

• 00:31 - 00:35

  not thinking about what we're gonna do after school today.

• 00:35 - 00:38

  We are thinking about where we are right now

• 00:38 - 00:39

  with each other,

• 00:40 - 00:42

  with our classmates, with our teacher

• 00:43 - 00:45

  and listening to our mindful moment.

• 00:46 - 00:53

  This friends gets us prepared for the day so that we can stay focused during the day.

• 00:53 - 00:59

  We can stay mindful about every moment because if we're not living in this moment,

• 00:59 - 01:02

  we're living in the past and we don't want to do that.

• 01:03 - 01:07

  So for today's mindful morning activity,

• 01:07 - 01:11

  I'm going to have you try our muscle relaxation

• 01:11 - 01:14

  so go ahead and sit in your chair just like me.

• 01:14 - 01:19

  Your arms can be on your lap or to the side and we are

• 01:19 - 01:24

  going to be relaxing every single one of our muscles that we can.

• 01:25 - 01:27

  Let's go ahead and start

• 01:27 - 01:28

  with our hands.

• 01:29 - 01:31

  So with your hands

• 01:31 - 01:33

  go ahead and put them out in front of you

• 01:34 - 01:37

  and make them into a fist and tighten them,

• 01:38 - 01:42

  tighten them as hard as you can to where it doesn't hurt though.

• 01:42 - 01:43

  So tighten them,

• 01:45 - 01:48

  notice how it feels tight

• 01:49 - 01:49

  and then

• 01:50 - 01:51

  let go

• 01:54 - 01:56

  one more time tighten your hands.

• 02:02 - 02:05

  I like to wiggle my fingers after doing that.

• 02:06 - 02:08

  Now let's do our feet

• 02:09 - 02:11

  so go ahead and tighten your feet.

• 02:11 - 02:15

  They can either be right in front of you or to the side tighten those feet,

• 02:16 - 02:20

  you can feel it in your thighs and your legs in your toes.

• 02:24 - 02:26

  One more time, tighten those legs,

• 02:27 - 02:30

  you can feel the muscles in your thighs getting tight

• 02:31 - 02:33

  and then you let go

• 02:34 - 02:37

  whenever I let go, it feels kind of cold

• 02:37 - 02:38

  in my body

• 02:39 - 02:42

  and we're gonna go ahead and do our back,

• 02:42 - 02:45

  you're gonna tighten your back like this,

• 02:45 - 02:49

  pretending something might be on your spine and just tighten your back

• 02:52 - 02:53

  and then you're gonna let go.

• 02:55 - 02:57

  Sometimes we let out a breath of air,

• 02:58 - 02:59

  tighten your back

• 03:03 - 03:04

  and let's oh,

• 03:06 - 03:09

  now you can tighten every muscle in your body.

• 03:09 - 03:13

  Friends when we do our muscle relaxations.

• 03:14 - 03:17

  So let's go ahead and move on to our affirmations.

• 03:17 - 03:19

  That was our mindful moment for today.

• 03:19 - 03:23

  We are paying attention to our bodies what it feels like

• 03:24 - 03:29

  and when it feels to relax your body so that you can be ready for the day

• 03:30 - 03:35

  Are affirmations today are from my new affirmation cards that I

• 03:35 - 03:38

  the kind things that people are doing, and the less I see the bad choices people make.

  That's why I love my affirmations.
