Good morning students. Happy thursday.
- 00:04 - 00:11
Welcome to Mindful mornings where each of you is practicing the art of mindfulness.
- 00:11 - 00:17
Where we train our bodies to be in the present moment.
- 00:17 - 00:22
We train our bodies to feel calm so that we can focus on
- 00:22 - 00:25
the task ahead of us at the task in front of us.
- 00:25 - 00:31
And so for a second we can block everything else out and just focus on being
- 00:31 - 00:34
in the present moment, being here,
- 00:34 - 00:38
being surrounded by your teachers and your fellow students.
- 00:40 - 00:43
So let's go ahead and practice a mindfulness technique that
- 00:43 - 00:46
we've been practicing for a very long time now.
- 00:46 - 00:49
And I'm sure a lot of you love it. It is our tapping method
- 00:50 - 00:55
where a lot of people use this to calm their body to get back into
- 00:55 - 01:00
the present moment to feel connected to your body so that you can focus.
- 01:01 - 01:06
So go ahead and try with me. We start at our forehead and just gently tap.
- 01:08 - 01:10
We are just gently tapping.
- 01:14 - 01:17
Remember to breathe while you are tapping.
- 01:18 - 01:19
Then we move on
- 01:20 - 01:21
to our cheeks.
- 01:22 - 01:25
We are moving to tapping our cheeks.
- 01:29 - 01:32
Move to the bottom of our nose
- 01:39 - 01:40
to our chin.
- 01:46 - 01:48
We're just
- 01:55 - 01:56
her shoulders.
- 02:01 - 02:04
We can even tap with our hands
- 02:05 - 02:06
to the side
- 02:14 - 02:18
And that boys and girls is our tapping method that we use.
- 02:19 - 02:22
So moving on to our affirmations,
- 02:22 - 02:27
you already know our affirmations. Help remind us how powerful we are.
- 02:27 - 02:31
We going to create our own experiences so

- 03:05 - 03:09
You can also use affirmations when you are confronted with a moment.
- 03:09 - 03:10
Say, for example,
- 03:10 - 03:15
you are out on the playground and you're starting to feel your body getting upset.
- 03:15 - 03:19
Something happened. You tell yourself I am calm.
- 03:20 - 03:21
I am peaceful.
- 03:21 - 03:28
I can solve a conflict so that you can get your brain ready to pick a good solution.
- 03:28 - 03:29
Make a good choice.
- 03:30 - 03:32
