Hi, writers.
- 00:02 - 00:04
This is this money sold your school counselor.
- 00:05 - 00:09
And this is the start of the mindfulness, um, video
- 00:09 - 00:12
Siri's that I will be sending to your to you
- 00:12 - 00:12
guys every week.
- 00:13 - 00:16
Um, and in this video, we're gonna learn about how
- 00:16 - 00:17
our brain works.
- 00:18 - 00:19
So let's get started.
- 00:20 - 00:22
You know, I'm going to teach you guys about three
- 00:22 - 00:23
important parts of the brain.
- 00:24 - 00:27
The 1st 1 right here in the bottom part.
- 00:27 - 00:31
The amygdala, The Amidala say that with me.
- 00:31 - 00:35
A MiG Della is This is your security guard.
- 00:35 - 00:38
Okay, so I'll teach you more about that in a
- 00:38 - 00:38
little bit.
- 00:39 - 00:43
Your prefrontal cortex is the wise leader.
- 00:43 - 00:44
So say that with me.
- 00:44 - 00:45
Prefrontal cortex.
- 00:47 - 00:47
All right.
- 00:48 - 00:51
And the hippocampus is your memory saver.
- 00:51 - 00:52
So say that with me.
- 00:53 - 00:54
You're hippel hippocampus.
- 00:55 - 00:59
All right, so this is the power of your brain,
- 01:00 - 01:04
and these three parts work together to help you to
- 01:05 - 01:09
there. And two on two to save memories.
- 01:09 - 01:12
All right, so let's learn a little bit more about
- 01:12 - 01:13
each one of them.
- 01:14 - 01:15
Okay? The hippocampus.
- 01:16 - 01:17
Say that again with me.
- 01:17 - 01:20
Hip. Bo camp is the hippocampus.
- 01:21 - 01:21
I'm gonna show use.
- 01:22 - 01:24
We're gonna pretend that this is our brain.
- 01:25 - 01:27
Okay, so I want everyone I want.
- 01:27 - 01:30
You do lift your hand and touch your poem.
- 01:31 - 01:34
This right here, your palm is going to be your
- 01:34 - 01:38
hippocampus. And like I said, it's your memory saber.
- 01:39 - 01:39
It's safe.
- 01:40 - 01:44
Helps you keep information, and it brings it back to
- 01:44 - 01:45
you when you need it.
- 01:46 - 01:52
Um, so your hippocampus, it saves your information and mid
- 01:52 - 01:53
saves your memories.
- 01:54 - 02:00
Okay. The next part of the A MiG dilla right
- 02:00 - 02:02
here. You close it up.
- 02:03 - 02:07
Um, the amygdala is your security guard.
- 02:08 - 02:11
And like any security guard, it keeps you safe.
- 02:11 - 02:13
It warns you of danger.
- 02:15 - 02:17
It keeps you safe, and it helps you express your
- 02:18 - 02:23
emotions. So in your medulla is a little tricky, though
- 02:23 - 02:26
it can trick you so it can't warn you of
- 02:26 - 02:27
real danger.
- 02:27 - 02:31
For example, if you're in the woods and there is
- 02:31 - 02:35
a bear coming towards you, it can say dander danger.
- 02:36 - 02:40
There's a pair coming, So yeah, that's real Ranger danger.
- 02:40 - 02:43
So you kid, later on, we're going to learn about
- 02:43 - 02:44
our prefrontal cortex.
- 02:45 - 02:51
But you can either decide to run, um, freeze or
- 02:52 - 02:52
fight back.
- 02:54 - 02:55
So you're a middle, aka.
- 02:56 - 02:58
It could tell you about riel danger.
- 02:58 - 03:01
But I can also tell you think that you're in
- 03:01 - 03:02
danger. But you're really not.
- 03:03 - 03:03
For example.
- 03:04 - 03:06
Ah, your first day of school, you might have felt,
- 03:08 - 03:08
are you?
- 03:08 - 03:12
In the past, you might have felt nervous, afraid, But
- 03:12 - 03:13
you were in real danger.
- 03:14 - 03:17
So, um but sometimes we think we are.
- 03:18 - 03:21
So then our body also reacts like if we were
- 03:21 - 03:21
in danger.
- 03:22 - 03:25
So by helping to calm down our Magdala, then we
- 03:25 - 03:26
can make better decisions.
- 03:27 - 03:30
We learn more about this as sweet on as we
- 03:30 - 03:31
continue to learn together.
- 03:32 - 03:35
OK, so and it also helps express your emotions.
- 03:36 - 03:37
Like when you're sad and you're happy.
- 03:38 - 03:41
You're afraid like I just you just talked about All
- 03:42 - 03:46
right, So your prefrontal cortex, this right here.
- 03:46 - 03:47
So you're figures.
- 03:48 - 03:51
This makes up your prefrontal cortex, and that is your
- 03:52 - 03:52
wise leader.
- 03:53 - 03:55
Your wives leader helps you make good decisions.
- 03:56 - 03:58
That helps you to pay attention and learn.
- 04:00 - 04:04
Um, so while you are in school, you're using all
- 04:04 - 04:05
of these parts of your brain.
- 04:06 - 04:08
Um, and throughout the year, we're going to learn different
- 04:09 - 04:14
ways to calm our Magdala so that we can pay
- 04:14 - 04:16
attention and learn.
- 04:17 - 04:23
And then um, be able to, um, store and save
- 04:23 - 04:24
all that information you're learning.
- 04:26 - 04:29
Okay, so let's talk about a little scenario.
- 04:30 - 04:32
Okay? So I'm gonna tell you about ah, scenarios like
- 04:32 - 04:32
a situation.
- 04:33 - 04:34
Something that might happen.
- 04:34 - 04:37
So imagine that you are a seat.
- 04:38 - 04:43
So calm calmly asl ee and you hear a loud
- 04:44 - 04:47
bang. So, like, clue.
- 04:47 - 04:50
It'll here in the picture, you might wake up.
- 04:50 - 04:51
Really scared your Magdala.
- 04:53 - 04:56
Remember, this part of the parade has warned you loud
- 04:57 - 04:59
noise. Possible danger.
- 04:59 - 05:00
You might be in danger.
- 05:01 - 05:06
Um, so Fluto could either respond by fighting back.
- 05:07 - 05:08
He's getting ready to protect himself.
- 05:09 - 05:13
He could free who doesn't know what to do.
- 05:14 - 05:19
He could, um, fight, freeze, or he can run away.
- 05:20 - 05:21
He or he could run away.
- 05:22 - 05:25
Um, if we take some moment, though, we just take
- 05:26 - 05:29
a moment to to calm down or just just weep.
- 05:30 - 05:31
Oss We put the pause button.
- 05:32 - 05:38
We could actually think about some some tools, some some
- 05:38 - 05:42
activities and ways to calm down so we could take
- 05:42 - 05:45
a few breaths of Donald can take a few breaths,
- 05:49 - 05:53
and instead of running away, um, trying to fight back
- 05:54 - 05:57
or Heidi, he could maybe look around and notice.
- 05:58 - 06:00
Okay? There's nothing dangerous in my room.
- 06:01 - 06:04
And he might even notice that his alarm clock was
- 06:05 - 06:07
foul. And that's what made the noise.
- 06:08 - 06:12
So then he could make better decisions if he is
- 06:12 - 06:14
able to calm his Alma Gullah down.
- 06:15 - 06:18
And we did that by taking some deep breaths in
- 06:18 - 06:19
just passing, taking a moment.
- 06:20 - 06:22
Um, putting the pause button begins.
- 06:23 - 06:24
Um, do some breaths.
- 06:24 - 06:29
And then that helped us to think and, um and
- 06:29 - 06:29
then make a good decision.
- 06:30 - 06:35
All right, so then the hippocampus, your your memories, ever
- 06:35 - 06:37
a kid, it can remind it can help him.
- 06:38 - 06:41
Remember the next time he he wakes up with a
- 06:41 - 06:41
loud noise?
- 06:42 - 06:43
You might remember that.
- 06:43 - 06:45
Oh, maybe it was my alarm clock that fell.
- 06:45 - 06:46
Well, maybe something else felt.
- 06:47 - 06:51
Okay, so that's how are the 33 important parts of
- 06:51 - 06:53
our brains work our greatest super important.
- 06:54 - 06:56
And they can help houses in many ways.
- 06:57 - 06:58
Um, those are just some of them.
- 06:58 - 07:01
So the last thing I want to do with you
- 07:01 - 07:03
is take a deep breath.
- 07:04 - 07:08
Um, and like we learned in that last scenario, how
- 07:08 - 07:12
taking deep breaths is one way to helping to calm
- 07:13 - 07:16
Arman a McGill a down so that we can, um,
- 07:17 - 07:20
were able to focus to be able to make better
- 07:20 - 07:25
decisions. Um, And then and then, um, learning.
- 07:26 - 07:30
So we're going to start with well, finding first, a
- 07:31 - 07:35
comfortable position by position, where you're seated or for this,
- 07:36 - 07:36
you know, it might help of you stabbed.
- 07:37 - 07:40
I'm gonna stay seated for this one, but you could
- 07:40 - 07:43
stand up and you start with your hands, Um, by
- 07:44 - 07:46
your heart, like the little girl in the picture.
- 07:47 - 07:51
And we're going to raise our hands overhead while we
- 07:51 - 07:52
take a deeper ready.
- 07:53 - 07:58
Okay, breathe in, Breathe out.
- 08:02 - 08:24
Re. Then we about we've been without okay?
- 08:25 - 08:28
And I hope like I am, I'm nice and relaxed.
- 08:29 - 08:31
I hope you're also feeling relaxed, and that is a
- 08:31 - 08:33
power of taking deep breaths.
- 08:34 - 08:37
It helps our make dilla to calm down.
- 08:38 - 08:40
It helps our bodies and our brain to calm down
- 08:41 - 08:43
so that we can, um, pay attention.
- 08:44 - 08:45
You can learn.
- 08:46 - 08:49
Um, this is all gonna help you while you're learning
- 08:49 - 08:52
from home so that you can learn all this The
- 08:52 - 08:55
cool and things that your teachers are your teacher is
- 08:56 - 09:00
teaching you and um, and you can save all this
- 09:00 - 09:01
information. Remember it.
- 09:01 - 09:02
All right.
- 09:02 - 09:05
So I'm gonna see you again next week with more
- 09:05 - 09:09
information on the brain and mindfulness and how to stay
- 09:10 - 09:11
calm. All right, Hava.
- 09:12 - 09:13
Kind and calm day by
