Good morning students and happy thursday.
- 00:04 - 00:08
Welcome to another day of mindful mornings where we practice
- 00:09 - 00:13
mindfulness and mindfulness helps us be prepared for a great
- 00:13 - 00:16
day of learning by preparing our minds to be in
- 00:17 - 00:17
the present moment.
- 00:20 - 00:23
So by being in the present moment it means we're
- 00:23 - 00:25
not focusing on the past or the future.
- 00:26 - 00:29
We are only thinking about the things that we are
- 00:29 - 00:31
doing right now in this moment.
- 00:32 - 00:35
And that helps us prepare for all the focusing we
- 00:35 - 00:37
will do for the next activities and class.
- 00:38 - 00:43
So for today's mindfulness activity we will be focusing on
- 00:43 - 00:47
drawing a star but we won't be doing this with
- 00:47 - 00:52
a pencil or a marker or paint or even paper.
- 00:53 - 00:57
So what we will practice is drawing a star in
- 00:58 - 00:58
the air.
- 00:59 - 01:02
However you would like to do it from whatever point
- 01:03 - 01:08
you would like to start visualize a star in your
- 01:08 - 01:11
mind. If it helps you can close your eyes like
- 01:11 - 01:17
me visualize a star and start to draw it with
- 01:18 - 01:18
your fingers.
- 01:23 - 01:28
There's so many ways to draw a star, there's no
- 01:28 - 01:29
right way or wrong way.
- 01:33 - 01:38
Yeah if it's not perfect.
- 01:38 - 01:39
That is okay.
- 01:43 - 01:47
Thank you for trying to draw that star Boys and
- 01:47 - 01:50
girls, even if it did not come out just how
- 01:50 - 01:53
you wanted it to, it helped us practice a bit
- 01:53 - 01:58
of that mindfulness and next online for mornings we have
- 01:59 - 02:02
our affirmations where we remind ourselves that we have the
- 02:02 - 02:06
power to create our own reality poison girls, we choose
- 02:07 - 02:11
how our days will go us because no one controls
- 02:11 - 02:13
our body and our thoughts but ourselves.
- 02:14 - 02:16
So repeat after me.
- 02:17 - 02:18
I am athletic.
- 02:20 - 02:21
I am athletic.

Next is I am a team player.
- 02:33 - 02:36
I am a team player.
- 02:37 - 02:39
And finally, I am ready.
- 02:41 - 02:42
I am ready.
- 02:44 - 02:46
So boys and girls, we are ready to start our
- 02:47 - 02:50
