  Good morning friends and happy friday.

• 00:04 - 00:08

  Welcome to the last mindful morning of this week

• 00:08 - 00:13

  and today we will be practicing mindfulness as always.

• 00:14 - 00:17

  Mindfulness is the art of knowing how you feel.

• 00:18 - 00:21

  Really thinking about where you are and what you

• 00:21 - 00:25

  say and paying close attention to those around you.

• 00:26 - 00:28

  So for today's mindfulness activity Friends,

• 00:28 - 00:33

  I'd like to bring back our activity of being light as a feather.

• 00:34 - 00:38

  Today is the end of a long week and I want to make sure that we finish

• 00:38 - 00:44

  it off very rested so that when we come back monday we are feeling our best selves.

• 00:44 - 00:47

  So start by sitting comfortably in your chair.

• 00:48 - 00:50

  Then you're gonna start with your deep breath in

• 00:54 - 00:56

  and out.

• 00:58 - 01:01

  And for this mindfulness exercise Friends,

• 01:02 - 01:09

  you're going to imagine that you are a feather floating in this very windy wind.

• 01:10 - 01:13

  So your feather could be any color you want.

• 01:13 - 01:17

  It could be as big as you want or as small as you want.

• 01:17 - 01:19

  So go ahead and imagine your feather,

• 01:21 - 01:22

  you got it.

• 01:23 - 01:28

  You're gonna raise your arms as if your arms are the feather

• 01:29 - 01:31

  and your feather is slowly coming down

• 01:33 - 01:35

  and it's going in the wind

• 01:37 - 01:41

  and the slower and the farther down your feather comes,

• 01:41 - 01:43

  the more relaxed. You feel.

• 01:44 - 01:45

  Let's try that one more time.

• 01:47 - 01:48

  We are as light

• 01:49 - 01:50

  as the feather

• 01:51 - 01:53

  floating in the wind.

• 01:55 - 01:57

  We feel the stress

• 01:58 - 02:01

  and the pressure and the tension coming away

• 02:02 - 02:03

  coming down,

• 02:04 - 02:06

  floating away in that wind

• 02:06 - 02:09

  and we are getting ready to have a great day.

• 02:10 - 02:12

  Let's do that one more time.

• 02:13 - 02:16

  We're up our feathers all the way up.

• 02:18 - 02:20

  And as our feather comes down,

• 02:21 - 02:22

  we have no more worries.

• 02:23 - 02:25

  No more stress.

• 02:25 - 02:29

  No more thinking about yesterday or things before.

• 02:29 - 02:31

  We only think about today

• 02:32 - 02:33

  and now.

• 02:35 - 02:39

  So let's move on to our affirmations for the day. Friends.

• 02:40 - 02:44

  These are very powerful affirmations. And I know you are ready for them.

• 02:44 - 02:46

  So go ahead and repeat after me

• 02:47 - 02:50

  today. I will make good choices

• 02:51 - 02:53

  today. I will make good choices

• 02:54 - 02:56

  today. I will accept

• 02:56 - 02:58

  what I cannot change

• 02:59 - 03:03

  today. I will accept what I cannot change

• 03:04 - 03:07

  today. I will forgive others

• 03:07 - 03:08

  today.

• 03:09 - 03:10

  I will forgive others.

• 03:11 - 03:13

  And last one.

• 03:13 - 03:15

  Today I will let go

• 03:15 - 03:17

  of what bothers me

• 03:18 - 03:22

  today. I will let go of what bothers me,

• 03:23 - 03:24

  frenzies.

• 03:24 - 03:30

  Affirmations are a reminder that we cannot control anybody else but ourselves.

• 03:30 - 03:36

  We control our body. Our choices, our feelings only us.

• 03:36 - 03:38

  So we've got to let go of what we

• 03:38 - 03:42

  cannot control because we can only control ourselves.

• 03:42 - 03:46

  So make good choices today. Friends and I will see you next time
