Good morning Friends and Happy thursday.
- 00:04 - 00:07
Welcome to today's Mindful Morning where we are practicing
- 00:08 - 00:09
the art of mindfulness
- 00:10 - 00:12
and mindfulness means
- 00:12 - 00:14
being in the present moment.
- 00:15 - 00:16
It means
- 00:16 - 00:18
focusing on where we are
- 00:18 - 00:19
right now.
- 00:20 - 00:23
It means learning to pay attention
- 00:23 - 00:26
to the things that we would normally just ignore.
- 00:26 - 00:29
We are really looking at our surroundings,
- 00:29 - 00:32
were really paying attention to where we are right now
- 00:33 - 00:34
and what we feel
- 00:34 - 00:35
in our body.
- 00:36 - 00:39
So for today's mindfulness activity,
- 00:39 - 00:43
I'd like us to practice feeling our breathing,
- 00:44 - 00:47
feeling our breathing.
- 00:47 - 00:48
So what you're going to do,
- 00:49 - 00:51
sit up straight in your chair.
- 00:52 - 00:52
Mhm.
- 00:54 - 00:59
Your legs will be either dangling down or your feet will be on the floor
- 01:00 - 01:04
and you're gonna take either one of your hands, doesn't matter which one.
- 01:04 - 01:06
And you're gonna place it on your chest
- 01:07 - 01:08
just right here in the middle.
- 01:09 - 01:12
And I want you to take a deep breath in
- 01:12 - 01:15
and really focus on what you feel your chest doing.
- 01:16 - 01:18
So I'm going to take a deep breath in
- 01:21 - 01:23
and a deep breath out
- 01:27 - 01:30
one more time, but really feel
- 01:30 - 01:31
your chest
- 01:35 - 01:37
deep breath out.
- 01:41 - 01:42
Is there anything that you felt
- 01:43 - 01:48
for example? I could feel my chest getting bigger as I took a deep breath in.
- 01:49 - 01:53
While I was holding my breath, I could feel my heartbeat
- 01:54 - 01:55
and when I was letting go
- 01:57 - 01:59
I could feel my chest getting smaller
- 01:59 - 02:00
getting sunken in.
- 02:01 - 02:03
So let's try that one more time.
- 02:03 - 02:05
Put your hand on your chest
- 02:06 - 02:07
and when you take a deep breath in,
- 02:07 - 02:10
focus on what your chest feels like
- 02:10 - 02:12
when you're holding your breath,
- 02:12 - 02:13
can you feel your heartbeat
- 02:14 - 02:15
and when you let go,
- 02:15 - 02:16
what does it feel like?
- 02:17 - 02:18
Ready?
- 02:18 - 02:19
Deep breath in
- 02:26 - 02:27
deep breath
- 02:27 - 02:27
out
- 02:29 - 02:34
as I spoke and said deep breath out. I could even feel the vibration
- 02:34 - 02:36
of my voice on my chest.
- 02:37 - 02:42
So when we focus on our breathing we start to pay attention to our body
- 02:42 - 02:43
and what we're feeling.
- 02:43 - 02:46
And we can get into our very mindful moment to get our
- 02:46 - 02:50
brains ready to get our bodies ready to learn for today.
- 02:51 - 02:54
So let's move on to our affirmations,
- 02:55 - 02:56
repeat after me.
- 02:57 - 02:58
I
- 02:58 - 02:59
can make today wonderful.
- 03:01 - 03:02
I can make today
- 03:02 - 03:03
wonderful!
- 03:05 - 03:07
I can learn a lot today.
- 03:09 - 03:10
I can learn a lot today.
- 03:13 - 03:15
I am improving my mind.
- 03:17 - 03:18
I am
- 03:18 - 03:20
improving my mind
- 03:21 - 03:22
and last one
- 03:23 - 03:26
I am improving my confidence.
- 03:27 - 03:29
I am improving
- 03:29 - 03:31
my confidence.
- 03:33 - 03:37
The more we tell ourselves these things, boys and girls, the more they become true,
- 03:37 - 03:39
the more we start to believe them.
- 03:39 - 03:43
So, thank you for joining me today on mindful mornings and I'll see you tomorrow.
