  Good morning my friends and Happy Monday.

• 00:03 - 00:07

  Welcome to another full week of mindful mornings

• 00:07 - 00:10

  where we are practicing the art of mindfulness

• 00:10 - 00:12

  and mindfulness means

• 00:12 - 00:15

  paying very close attention to what you say

• 00:16 - 00:17

  to what you do

• 00:17 - 00:19

  to your surroundings

• 00:20 - 00:26

  and only thinking about this moment and not things that are to come.

• 00:26 - 00:29

  Things that already happen.

• 00:29 - 00:35

  Being mindful is being able to pay attention to what is in front of you right now.

• 00:36 - 00:41

  So we're gonna go ahead and start our week off with a mindful script.

• 00:41 - 00:43

  So go ahead and sit comfortably,

• 00:44 - 00:46

  take a deep breath

• 00:47 - 00:49

  and when you let it out,

• 00:50 - 00:53

  feel everything around you getting calmer

• 00:56 - 00:57

  and quieter,

• 00:59 - 01:01

  take another long breath,

• 01:03 - 01:05

  release it slowly

• 01:09 - 01:12

  and feel even calmer still.

• 01:13 - 01:13

  Okay

• 01:14 - 01:16

  as you continue to breathe, Friends

• 01:17 - 01:21

  notice that the only thing you want to pay attention to,

• 01:21 - 01:22

  it's my voice.

• 01:26 - 01:28

  Imagine in front of you

• 01:28 - 01:29

  a movie screen

• 01:31 - 01:33

  and on this movie screen

• 01:33 - 01:36

  you see images from your own life.

• 01:37 - 01:41

  You see every time when you did something kind for someone

• 01:42 - 01:47

  and you also see every time someone did something kind for you.

• 01:49 - 01:51

  As you watch the movie,

• 01:51 - 01:53

  you see how happy you've made other people

• 01:54 - 01:58

  and you see all the happy times that you've had as well

• 02:00 - 02:03

  as you continue to watch this movie,

• 02:04 - 02:08

  you see a time when you helped somebody who needed you

• 02:09 - 02:12

  and you see how happy it made them.

• 02:14 - 02:18

  Just this thought makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.

• 02:19 - 02:24

  Now, friends switched to a time when someone helped you

• 02:25 - 02:29

  think how good you felt to know that someone was there

• 02:29 - 02:30

  for you

• 02:33 - 02:38

  feel all those wonderful good feelings come rushing back to your heart.

• 02:39 - 02:42

  Watch those beautiful moments of your life

• 02:42 - 02:44

  and remember how happy you were

• 02:44 - 02:46

  and how wonderful you felt

• 02:48 - 02:50

  all those happy feelings.

• 02:50 - 02:52

  All those times you felt warm

• 02:52 - 02:55

  were because of a very special feeling.

• 02:55 - 02:56

  Love.

• 02:57 - 03:00

  And these things you see in front of you happened

• 03:00 - 03:03

  because you loved and showed that love to someone else

• 03:03 - 03:05

  and because they love you

• 03:07 - 03:09

  and love is about taking care of other people,

• 03:10 - 03:11

  doing nice things,

• 03:12 - 03:15

  expressing your gratitude and showing kindness

• 03:15 - 03:17

  and patience.

• 03:19 - 03:24

  And that happy love feeling means that you're a part of a community of people,

• 03:24 - 03:28

  a very important part of this universe

• 03:28 - 03:31

  and a very important part of this school friends.

• 03:31 - 03:32

  So,

• 03:32 - 03:36

  I want you to remember all this love you have inside of you and

• 03:36 - 03:42

  how easily you can express your love with simple acts of kindness towards yourself

• 03:42 - 03:43

  and others.

• 03:44 - 03:46

  You are truly wonderful friends.

• 03:47 - 03:52

  So, now notice how the feeling of love is like a soft,

• 03:52 - 03:54

  fuzzy blanket wrapped all around you.

• 03:54 - 03:56

  It makes you feel warm

• 03:56 - 03:57

  and peaceful

• 03:58 - 03:59

  and happy.

• 04:00 - 04:03

  So, most of all throughout your life,

• 04:03 - 04:05

  during the good and bad times. Friends

• 04:06 - 04:07

  remember how much love

• 04:08 - 04:09

  everyone has for you

• 04:09 - 04:14

  and you are one of the brightest spots in my life and I am thankful for you.

• 04:15 - 04:18

  So, now take a nice deep breath in Friends.

• 04:20 - 04:22

  Exhale slowly

• 04:24 - 04:27

  and continue to feel all the wonderful feelings of love

• 04:28 - 04:29

  and gentleness

• 04:30 - 04:34

  as you go about your day today, offering kindness to others

• 04:34 - 04:37

  and being mindful in this exact moment.

• 04:38 - 04:40

  So thank you for joining me today, friends.
