  Good morning Friends and happy friday.

• 00:04 - 00:06

  Welcome to Today's Mindful Morning.

• 00:07 - 00:10

  It's been a very long week and we are now ready

• 00:10 - 00:15

  to practice mindfulness for today so that we can be prepared

• 00:15 - 00:18

  to be our best selves today and we can be prepared

• 00:18 - 00:22

  to go into the weekend thinking about our mindful bodies.

• 00:23 - 00:27

  So today we're going to try a relaxation script.

• 00:28 - 00:32

  I have images of a cloud because it will be part of our script today.

• 00:32 - 00:34

  So it's also a little different.

• 00:35 - 00:38

  So I'm going to ask you to relax in a few minutes.

• 00:38 - 00:42

  I'm going to say some things that I hope will help you create a picture

• 00:43 - 00:44

  in your mind.

• 00:45 - 00:49

  I'm also going to ask you to relax different parts of your body.

• 00:50 - 00:55

  Learning to relax will help you cope with angry, sad and scary feelings.

• 00:56 - 00:59

  So find a comfortable position in your chair. Friends,

• 00:59 - 01:01

  we are not touching anyone

• 01:01 - 01:04

  and we're going to take in a few relaxing breaths

• 01:05 - 01:07

  if you choose. You can close your eyes

• 01:09 - 01:10

  and relax.

• 01:11 - 01:14

  Wiggle just a little bit and make yourself comfortable

• 01:18 - 01:22

  take those few more relaxing breaths, breathing in

• 01:23 - 01:24

  and out,

• 01:26 - 01:27

  breathing in

• 01:29 - 01:30

  stand out,

• 01:33 - 01:33

  that's it.

• 01:34 - 01:36

  You are feeling peaceful

• 01:37 - 01:39

  if you were angry,

• 01:39 - 01:42

  you can picture yourself moving from hot,

• 01:43 - 01:44

  too cold

• 01:44 - 01:45

  on a thermometer

• 01:47 - 01:50

  becoming more and more relaxed.

• 01:50 - 01:51

  Cold

• 01:52 - 01:53

  peaceful

• 01:56 - 01:58

  now with your eyes closed,

• 01:58 - 02:03

  pretend that you're on a white fluffy clouds just like this one.

• 02:04 - 02:07

  High in the sky. On a beautiful day,

• 02:08 - 02:12

  you are floating peacefully on that white fluffy cloud,

• 02:13 - 02:15

  moving very slowly.

• 02:16 - 02:17

  You're as light

• 02:17 - 02:18

  as a feather

• 02:19 - 02:23

  and the fluffy clouds hold you safely

• 02:23 - 02:25

  floating across the sky.

• 02:28 - 02:30

  Now, as I count from 1-3,

• 02:31 - 02:36

  imagine that you are sinking deeper and deeper into that cloud.

• 02:37 - 02:40

  So the cloud is all around you.

• 02:41 - 02:42

  One,

• 02:43 - 02:44

  two,

• 02:45 - 02:46

  three,

• 02:47 - 02:50

  you're enjoying the ride on the cloud.

• 02:51 - 02:56

  Now notice your toes and your feet how relaxed they feel.

• 02:57 - 02:59

  Notice your legs,

• 03:00 - 03:02

  all the muscles in your legs are light

• 03:03 - 03:05

  and relaxed on the cloud,

• 03:07 - 03:08

  notice your arms,

• 03:09 - 03:11

  notice your neck,

• 03:11 - 03:12

  your head,

• 03:13 - 03:15

  you are totally relaxed

• 03:16 - 03:18

  floating on the fluffy cloud

• 03:20 - 03:23

  and remember you can return to your very own

• 03:23 - 03:26

  cloud whenever you feel like you need to calm down

• 03:26 - 03:28

  and relax

• 03:28 - 03:31

  whenever you need to cool off friends

• 03:31 - 03:34

  move from hot to cold on the thermometer.

• 03:35 - 03:39

  Now we're getting ready to stop our ride on the cloud

• 03:40 - 03:42

  and come back into the classroom

• 03:42 - 03:45

  and we will be ready to be our best selves.

• 03:46 - 03:47

  We'll be ready to soar

• 03:48 - 03:50

  So we'll stop on the count

• 03:51 - 03:52

  of three

• 03:53 - 03:54

  two

• 03:55 - 03:56

  one.

• 03:57 - 03:58

  Open your eyes,

• 03:59 - 04:01

  you can stretch a little bit,

• 04:03 - 04:06

  think about how you felt doing that activity friends,

• 04:08 - 04:09

  when can you use it.

• 04:09 - 04:11

  How do you think I helped you

• 04:12 - 04:14

  go ahead and think about that

• 04:15 - 04:18

  and while you think I will do a little bit more stretches

• 04:19 - 04:21

  and remind you to have a great day today
