  Good morning Friends

• 00:03 - 00:08

  and Happy thursday. Welcome to Today's Mindful Mornings where we are practicing

• 00:08 - 00:10

  mindfulness.

• 00:10 - 00:15

  Now today's mindfulness activity will be another relaxation script.

• 00:15 - 00:19

  So go ahead and sit in your seat

• 00:19 - 00:24

  and I'm going to ask you to relax different parts of your body.

• 00:24 - 00:26

  And I'm going to ask you to create a picture

• 00:27 - 00:27

  in your mind.

• 00:28 - 00:33

  Learning to relax will help you deal with any feelings of anger,

• 00:33 - 00:34

  sadness

• 00:34 - 00:36

  and a lot of scary feelings.

• 00:37 - 00:39

  So find a comfortable position in your chair,

• 00:39 - 00:41

  you are not touching anyone

• 00:42 - 00:46

  and you are going to take in a few relaxing breaths.

• 00:49 - 00:52

  You can choose to close your eyes or you can leave them open,

• 00:55 - 00:56

  make sure you're

• 00:56 - 00:58

  getting yourself comfortable.

• 00:58 - 01:02

  You can wiggle around a bit until you find that comfortable seat

• 01:03 - 01:05

  while we breathe in

• 01:06 - 01:07

  out,

• 01:10 - 01:11

  breathe in

• 01:14 - 01:15

  and out.

• 01:17 - 01:19

  That's it. You're feeling peaceful

• 01:21 - 01:22

  if you were angry,

• 01:22 - 01:25

  you can picture yourself moving from hot,

• 01:25 - 01:27

  too cold

• 01:27 - 01:28

  on our thermometer,

• 01:30 - 01:31

  becoming more

• 01:31 - 01:32

  and more relaxed

• 01:33 - 01:34

  called

• 01:34 - 01:35

  and peaceful

• 01:37 - 01:41

  now with your eyes closed, pretend that you're on a white

• 01:42 - 01:43

  fluffy clouds

• 01:43 - 01:46

  high in the sky on a beautiful day,

• 01:47 - 01:49

  you are floating peacefully

• 01:50 - 01:52

  on that white fluffy cloud,

• 01:53 - 01:55

  you're moving very slowly,

• 01:56 - 01:57

  You are as light

• 01:57 - 01:58

  as a feather

• 02:00 - 02:03

  and the fluffy clouds hold you safely.

• 02:05 - 02:06

  You are floating

• 02:06 - 02:07

  across the sky.

• 02:09 - 02:12

  Now as I count from 1-3,

• 02:12 - 02:18

  imagine that you are sinking deeper and deeper into that cloud.

• 02:18 - 02:22

  So the cloud is all around you.

• 02:22 - 02:23

  One,

• 02:24 - 02:25

  two,

• 02:26 - 02:26

  three,

• 02:28 - 02:30

  you're enjoying the ride on the cloud.

• 02:32 - 02:35

  Now notice your toes and your feet

• 02:36 - 02:37

  how relaxed they feel.

• 02:39 - 02:40

  Notice your legs,

• 02:41 - 02:43

  All the muscles in your legs

• 02:43 - 02:44

  are light

• 02:45 - 02:47

  and relaxed on this fluffy cloud.

• 02:48 - 02:50

  Notice your arms,

• 02:50 - 02:51

  your neck

• 02:52 - 02:53

  in your head.

• 02:54 - 02:56

  Now you are totally relaxed

• 02:57 - 02:59

  floating on the fluffy cloud

• 03:00 - 03:06

  and you can return to your very own cloud whenever you feel like you need to calm down

• 03:06 - 03:07

  and relax

• 03:08 - 03:10

  whenever you need to cool off,

• 03:11 - 03:13

  move from hot to cool

• 03:13 - 03:14

  another monitor.

• 03:16 - 03:20

  Now we're getting ready to stop our ride on this fluffy cloud,

• 03:21 - 03:24

  We will stop on the count of three,

• 03:25 - 03:25

  one,

• 03:27 - 03:28

  two

• 03:29 - 03:29

  three.

• 03:30 - 03:33

  Go ahead and open your eyes,

• 03:34 - 03:37

  stretch your hands a bit, wiggle your fingers,

• 03:38 - 03:40

  take another deep breath in

• 03:42 - 03:43

  and out.

• 03:44 - 03:47

  And that was our mindfulness activity for today to

• 03:47 - 03:50

  get you prepared to be your best self.

• 03:50 - 03:53

  So thank you for joining me friends on today's

• 03:53 - 03:55

  mindful morning and I will see you next time.
