Good morning friends and happy Wednesday.
- 00:04 - 00:10
Welcome to another day of mindful mornings where we practiced mindfulness.
- 00:10 - 00:13
We practice being in the present moment.
- 00:13 - 00:17
We get ready to choose to have a good day.
- 00:17 - 00:20
We remember how safe we are in school.
- 00:21 - 00:24
We remember that we are loved here in school and
- 00:24 - 00:27
we have the ability to make our own choices.
- 00:27 - 00:28
Boys and girls.
- 00:29 - 00:31
So for today's mindful morning
- 00:32 - 00:36
I would like us to practice a candle gazing activity.
- 00:38 - 00:39
So with
- 00:40 - 00:41
this
- 00:41 - 00:42
mindful morning
- 00:42 - 00:44
I would like you to sit up straight
- 00:45 - 00:47
hands on your laps,
- 00:48 - 00:49
feet on the floor,
- 00:50 - 00:52
try to have a straight back. If you can
- 00:53 - 00:54
take a deep breath in
- 00:59 - 01:00
deep breath out
- 01:02 - 01:04
and look at the candle on the screen.
- 01:05 - 01:07
I know it's not moving
- 01:07 - 01:09
but with mindfulness.
- 01:09 - 01:11
Just look at the candle,
- 01:13 - 01:15
notice the different colors.
- 01:17 - 01:19
Do we see a hint of yellow,
- 01:20 - 01:22
some blue,
- 01:22 - 01:24
some orange
- 01:25 - 01:27
and keep these thoughts to yourself for a
- 01:27 - 01:31
moment so that others can practice this mindfulness.
- 01:31 - 01:35
So we are doing this activity quietly
- 01:36 - 01:38
go ahead and look at the flame,
- 01:39 - 01:41
notice those colors.
- 01:43 - 01:45
Notice the wick of the candle.
- 01:46 - 01:48
Is it a dark brown color?
- 01:49 - 01:50
It's burning
- 01:52 - 01:54
now, if you generally place your hands
- 01:54 - 01:55
in front,
- 01:55 - 01:59
you can almost feel the warmth of the candle.
- 02:00 - 02:02
Close your eyes.
- 02:03 - 02:06
Sometimes you can imagine that warmth of the candle
- 02:06 - 02:08
warming your hands
- 02:11 - 02:15
and that was our mindfulness activity. To take a deep breath in
- 02:18 - 02:20
one more deep breath out
- 02:22 - 02:26
and we are ready for our affirmations for today.
- 02:26 - 02:28
So repeat after me.
- 02:28 - 02:30
I am brave.
- 02:31 - 02:33
I am brave.
- 02:35 - 02:37
I am resourceful.
- 02:37 - 02:39
I am resourceful.
- 02:41 - 02:42
I
- 02:42 - 02:43
am kind.
- 02:44 - 02:45
I am
- 02:46 - 02:46
kind.
- 02:48 - 02:49
Last one.
- 02:49 - 02:50
I
- 02:50 - 02:51
am enough.
- 02:52 - 02:53
I am
- 02:53 - 02:54
in
- 02:55 - 02:59
So boys and girls. We love you for just who you are. We know.
- 02:59 - 03:03
Sometimes we make good choices and sometimes we do not.
- 03:03 - 03:06
But the great thing about school is you will always be loved and
- 03:06 - 03:10
we have an opportunity to correct those choices that were not so good.
- 03:11 - 03:14
So thank you for joining me. And I will see you tomorrow.
