Good morning my friends and happy Wednesday.
- 00:04 - 00:07
Welcome to another day of mindful mornings where
- 00:07 - 00:10
we are practicing the art of mindfulness.
- 00:10 - 00:11
Now,
- 00:11 - 00:14
for those of you who have forgotten mindfulness
- 00:14 - 00:17
is about being in the present moment,
- 00:17 - 00:20
it's not about thinking about all the things that are going to
- 00:20 - 00:23
happen tomorrow or all the things on our to do list.
- 00:24 - 00:28
Mindfulness is not thinking about what happened yesterday,
- 00:28 - 00:30
What happened with our friends and family
- 00:30 - 00:33
things that we cannot get out of our head.
- 00:33 - 00:35
That is not practicing mindfulness.
- 00:36 - 00:39
Mindfulness is being in the present moment,
- 00:39 - 00:42
realizing where you are right now
- 00:42 - 00:43
what you're doing
- 00:43 - 00:46
the task. We need to complete
- 00:46 - 00:50
the thing we are learning and focusing on just that because
- 00:50 - 00:54
at school we can be mindful at school we are safe.
- 00:54 - 00:59
We are protected by our teachers and all the amazing staff and our task,
- 01:00 - 01:01
our goal my friends
- 01:01 - 01:04
is to be happy at school what we are learning.
- 01:05 - 01:09
So today's mindfulness activity is to practice
- 01:09 - 01:11
naming our feeling
- 01:11 - 01:13
because a lot of the times friends,
- 01:13 - 01:16
we have so many different feelings at school and then
- 01:16 - 01:21
someone asks us how are you feeling or what's wrong?
- 01:21 - 01:23
And we really don't know what to say.
- 01:23 - 01:24
So when we practice
- 01:25 - 01:27
naming our feeling, using our mood meter,
- 01:27 - 01:31
it's a great way to practice mindfulness because we are listening to our body.
- 01:32 - 01:35
We are listening to what our body is telling us on how we feel.
- 01:36 - 01:40
Sometimes we can't think of the exact word. So we have these
- 01:40 - 01:42
colors on our mood meter.
- 01:43 - 01:46
So go ahead and sit in your chair comfortably right now.
- 01:46 - 01:49
I'll leave the mood meter up for you.
- 01:49 - 01:52
Go ahead and take your deep breath in with me
- 01:52 - 01:53
breath in
- 01:55 - 01:57
and breathe out.
- 02:00 - 02:01
Now tell me friends,
- 02:02 - 02:03
how are you feeling?
- 02:04 - 02:04
Yeah.
- 02:04 - 02:06
Where are you on our mood meter?
- 02:08 - 02:09
Can you name it?
- 02:11 - 02:12
I'll give you an example
- 02:13 - 02:17
this morning. MS Lopez was very tired getting up in the morning,
- 02:17 - 02:20
but then as soon as I got a call from my grandma,
- 02:20 - 02:24
I went from down here feeling tired and I moved somewhere up
- 02:24 - 02:27
here in the green to wear a smile went on my face.
- 02:27 - 02:33
So now that I'm at school, now that I'm here with you all, I feel content.
- 02:33 - 02:34
I feel calm.
- 02:35 - 02:36
I'm in the green.
- 02:37 - 02:38
So friends,
- 02:38 - 02:40
What happened to you this morning?
- 02:40 - 02:41
How did you wake up
- 02:42 - 02:43
when you came to school
- 02:44 - 02:46
when you saw your friends around you during playtime,
- 02:48 - 02:49
remind me,
- 02:49 - 02:50
how are you feeling today?
- 02:52 - 02:53
Name it.
- 02:54 - 02:56
I'll give you a minute to do that and
- 02:56 - 02:58
think about how you're feeling.
- 03:00 - 03:00
Hmm,
- 03:13 - 03:14
you got it friends.
- 03:15 - 03:20
The more we practice naming our feeling, figuring out what our body is telling us,
- 03:20 - 03:24
the better we will be able to identify all our emotions.
- 03:24 - 03:24
Friends.
- 03:25 - 03:28
So let's move on to our affirmations
- 03:29 - 03:33
where we are reminding ourselves that we have the power to create our reality.
- 03:33 - 03:33
Friends.
- 03:33 - 03:35
We get to choose
- 03:36 - 03:37
how we think about things.
- 03:37 - 03:41
We get to choose how we take things and we choose our behaviors.
- 03:41 - 03:46
No one controls our body but ourselves and we control our choices.
- 03:47 - 03:48
So first one,
- 03:48 - 03:52
I am open to new experiences.
- 03:53 - 03:55
I am open to new experiences.
- 03:57 - 03:59
Next one I am willing
- 04:00 - 04:01
to let love in.
- 04:02 - 04:05
I am willing to let Love in
- 04:06 - 04:08
that's letting others care about us.
- 04:09 - 04:10
Next
- 04:10 - 04:13
I am nourishing my mind.
- 04:14 - 04:17
I am nourishing my mind.
- 04:18 - 04:20
We are learning new things every day
- 04:21 - 04:22
And last one. Friends.
- 04:22 - 04:24
I will listen
- 04:24 - 04:26
to the wisdom of my body.
- 04:27 - 04:31
I will listen to the wisdom of my body.
- 04:32 - 04:36
We just practice that friends listening to what our body is telling us on,
- 04:36 - 04:37
how we feel.
- 04:38 - 04:40
So, thank you for joining me on today's Mindful morning.
- 04:40 - 04:43
My friends have a great day and I will see you all tomorrow.
