Good morning my friends and Happy Monday.
- 00:05 - 00:10
Welcome to a whole new week of mindful mornings where we are practicing
- 00:10 - 00:11
mindfulness
- 00:12 - 00:14
and mindfulness means
- 00:14 - 00:16
being fully here,
- 00:16 - 00:19
focusing on where we are right now
- 00:20 - 00:21
feeling calm,
- 00:22 - 00:24
paying attention to those around us.
- 00:25 - 00:32
It means relieving some of the worries that we may have of yesterday, of the future,
- 00:32 - 00:34
of things that happened at home.
- 00:35 - 00:37
Being mindful means
- 00:37 - 00:41
only focusing on where you are right now and who you are with.
- 00:42 - 00:46
So since it is monday, the start of a new week,
- 00:46 - 00:49
I'd like to use the glitter jar for today
- 00:50 - 00:54
and if you haven't seen the glitter jar or know what it means,
- 00:54 - 01:00
the glitter jar helps relieve some of our worries and it helps calm our body.
- 01:00 - 01:05
So if you were to imagine friends that all these tiny glitters,
- 01:06 - 01:09
our worries and thoughts that we may be having
- 01:10 - 01:11
that are keeping us
- 01:11 - 01:13
from being able to see clearly
- 01:14 - 01:16
and think clearly about our choices.
- 01:17 - 01:19
You see it's kind of hard to see through the other side
- 01:20 - 01:22
when all the glitter is in the way.
- 01:23 - 01:25
It's kind of like our thoughts
- 01:25 - 01:27
and our worries
- 01:27 - 01:30
that sometimes they get too much for us
- 01:30 - 01:34
and we can't think logically we can't think clearly and
- 01:34 - 01:37
we can't focus on where we are right now.
- 01:38 - 01:42
So I'd like us to take a moment to first sit in our chair comfortably Friends.
- 01:43 - 01:47
I'm gonna start with our deep breath in feeling it on your chest,
- 01:47 - 01:49
deep breath in
- 01:51 - 01:53
and out
- 01:55 - 01:59
and it's important to take those deep breaths because sometimes when we are so
- 01:59 - 02:05
worried we forget to breathe and our brain needs oxygen to make good choices.
- 02:06 - 02:08
So go ahead and focus on the glitter
- 02:10 - 02:14
And as you watch all the glitter come down. Friends,
- 02:15 - 02:17
You are taking deep breaths
- 02:18 - 02:20
and you are imagining
- 02:21 - 02:24
that all of your worries, just like the glitter
- 02:25 - 02:27
are slowly coming down
- 02:28 - 02:29
and settling
- 02:29 - 02:31
at the bottom of the jar.
- 02:33 - 02:35
Some glitters are falling faster
- 02:36 - 02:37
and some slower.
- 02:39 - 02:41
But eventually
- 02:41 - 02:43
all the glitter comes down
- 02:44 - 02:45
and collects
- 02:46 - 02:46
down here
- 02:47 - 02:49
just like our thoughts,
- 02:49 - 02:51
Our worries might still be there
- 02:53 - 02:58
and our bodies telling us, you know, you're worried. You just say thank you body.
- 02:58 - 03:02
I know I'm worried, but I'm going to keep the worries and my thoughts down here
- 03:03 - 03:07
because right now my job is to focus in school in class
- 03:08 - 03:09
and be with my classmates.
- 03:10 - 03:13
So let's move on to our affirmations.
- 03:13 - 03:16
Go ahead and repeat after me. Friends.
- 03:17 - 03:20
I choose to make today a fresh start.
- 03:21 - 03:25

- 03:42 - 03:43
to be my best self
- 03:44 - 03:45
And last one.
- 03:46 - 03:48
I am always improving.
- 03:49 - 03:49
I
- 03:50 - 03:52
am always improving.
- 03:53 - 03:57
We get better at things everyday friends. The more we practice.
- 03:57 - 04:03
We keep that growth mindset and we know that we try our best to be our best selves.
- 04:03 - 04:07
We make our choices. We get to choose who we want to be.
- 04:07 - 04:10
So friends, thank you for joining me on today's mindful morning,
- 04:10 - 04:12
and I will see you all tomorrow.
