Good morning Friends and happy Tuesday.
- 00:04 - 00:09
Welcome to Today's Mindful Morning where we are practicing the art of mindfulness,
- 00:10 - 00:11
which means
- 00:11 - 00:16
being able to focus on what is happening right now
- 00:16 - 00:17
in this moment,
- 00:17 - 00:21
what is happening today and not everything that's been
- 00:21 - 00:25
happening yesterday or tomorrow or the next day.
- 00:26 - 00:30
Being mindful is just focusing on this present moment
- 00:30 - 00:35
and being able to keep your body calm for what it needs to do.
- 00:36 - 00:38
So for today's mindfulness activity.
- 00:38 - 00:42
Friends, I'd like us to start and try a grounding technique.
- 00:43 - 00:45
So you're gonna go ahead and start
- 00:45 - 00:46
by sitting comfortably in your chair
- 00:47 - 00:50
and take your deep breath in
- 00:52 - 00:53
and out
- 00:56 - 00:59
and prepare yourself for this grounding activity.
- 01:00 - 01:03
When we participate in grounding activities,
- 01:03 - 01:08
we help realize what is around us so that we don't
- 01:08 - 01:11
get stuck in all the many thoughts in our head,
- 01:12 - 01:15
we are able to visualize what is right in front of us.
- 01:16 - 01:18
So go ahead and look around the room
- 01:18 - 01:22
and just think about five things that you can see
- 01:24 - 01:28
silently look around the room and count five things
- 01:28 - 01:29
that you see
- 01:35 - 01:36
Now.
- 01:36 - 01:39
To four things that you can feel
- 01:39 - 01:41
four things that you can feel.
- 01:43 - 01:44
I feel my sweater,
- 01:45 - 01:46
I feel my hands,
- 01:47 - 01:50
I feel myself sitting in my chair
- 01:50 - 01:54
and I can feel my hair on my face.
- 01:57 - 02:00
Next three things that you can hear friends.
- 02:01 - 02:02

one thing you can taste

The taste of your mouth
- 02:44 - 02:48
and friends. Whenever our thoughts are going very crazy.
- 02:48 - 02:51
And we have to remember to come back into this present moment.
- 02:51 - 02:54
