  1. Good morning my friends and happy friday.
  2. Welcome to today's Mindful mornings where we are practicing mindfulness.
  3. Now I just want to say I am sorry to everyone who
  4. has been asking me to be a part of mindful mornings.
  5. I have not been able to put a time together where we can record and
  6. do mindful mornings but it makes my
  7. heart very happy that everyone wants to participate
  8. and perhaps next year we can work together to make all sorts of videos together.
  9. But for the time being I hope you enjoyed
  10. today's mindful mornings as we are practicing every day.
  11. So for today's mindfulness activity,
  12. I like to bring back something that we haven't done in awhile
  13. called object observation.
  14. Sometimes friends being mindful is being able to notice
  15. the things that we use every day so that
  16. we don't take them for granted so that we
  17. are thankful for the things that we have around us
  18. and in order to be thankful and to not take them
  19. for granted we need to take the time to appreciate them.
  20. So go ahead and grab any random object that is near you.
  21. Any random object that is around you?
  22. I think for today
  23. I will
  24. pick up.
  25. Yes,
  26. it's a little tiny squirrel whoops
  27. little tiny squirrel that I have
  28. on my desk.
  29. So go ahead and find
  30. anything around you that you may use for object observation.
  31. You got it. Okay,
  32. so take the item in your hand.
  33. You first feel.
  34. Is it heavy?
  35. Is it light?
  36. How does it feel
  37. on your hand?
  38. Does it feel cold.
  39. Warm,
  40. dry.
  41. What does it feel like
  42. now? Go ahead and take it in your hands.
  43. How many colors do you see?
  44. Are there one,
  45. two,
  46. Three
  47. or more colors on your object?
  48. What colors are they?
  49. Are there any shapes on your object that you can identify?
  50. Any shapes that you can see?
  51. What are they?
  52. Hmm.
  53. Are there some parts
  54. that are darker than others,
  55. lighter than others?
  56. Does your object itself have a specific shape
  57. or is it a bunch of different shapes put together
  58. when you tap it?
  59. Does it make a sound
  60. when you rub your fingers on it?
  61. Does it make a sound?
  62. If you're brave you can go ahead and smell it.
  63. What does it smell like?

  65. plastic?
  66. Does it have a sweet smell?
  67. My sour smell.
  68. Take it between your fingers.
  69. What does that feel like?
  70. Does your item or your object have a specific use?
  71. For example if it's a pencil or pen. Do you use it to write
  72. if it's a book? Do you read it?
  73. Whatever your item is?
  74. Go ahead and take it in your hand
  75. and say thank you.
  76. I know that might feel weird but you say thank you to your object
  77. for existing
  78. and for being able to use it
  79. for what it was for.
  80. So friends. That was our mindfulness activity.
  81. Let's go ahead and move on to our affirmations for the day. I have them up here
  82. but I also have them here with me.
  83. So go ahead and repeat after me.
  84. I
  85. I'm a leader.
  86. I am
  87. a leader.
  88. I matter,

  92. Come,
  93. I belong here.
  94. And last one. I am trying my best.
  95. I am trying my best.
  96. And I hope you repeat these affirmations to yourself everyday friends.
  97. Because the more we repeat them,
  98. the more they become true because our life changes and we
  99. start to look for things that make these affirmations true.
  100. So thank you for joining me today. Friends, happy friday. And I'll see you next time.
