Good Morning Allie Rodriguez and welcome to Another Day of Mindful mornings.
- 00:06 - 00:11
Thank you for being here today and taking the time to focus
- 00:11 - 00:14
your body to get ready for a great day of learning.
- 00:14 - 00:19
So let's start with our mindfulness activity which today will
- 00:19 - 00:24
be some muscle relaxation with our arms and our hands.
- 00:25 - 00:29
Sometimes we carry all of the things we're worried about
- 00:29 - 00:33
or all of the things were scared or stress or maybe even
- 00:33 - 00:38
excited about whenever there's feels like there is that too much energy.
- 00:39 - 00:42
Sometimes we carry that all in our hands
- 00:42 - 00:44
and they might feel really, really tense,
- 00:45 - 00:47
they make feel stuck somehow.
- 00:48 - 00:52
So muscle relaxation helps control that part of your
- 00:52 - 00:55
body so that you can feel it again,
- 00:55 - 01:01
it feels less tense and that you can get them prepared for what they need to do.
- 01:01 - 01:03
So we start by
- 01:03 - 01:05
making our hands into a fist
- 01:06 - 01:07
and closing them
- 01:08 - 01:08
tightly,
- 01:09 - 01:10
not too tight,
- 01:11 - 01:14
but just close them tightly into the form of a fist
- 01:17 - 01:19
and then we slowly let go.
- 01:21 - 01:25
Were you able to feel the difference? We'll do it one more time
- 01:26 - 01:28
into a fist, tighten them.
- 01:30 - 01:35
Some of us might be poked by your fingernails or fingers feel like they might hurt.
- 01:35 - 01:37
So then we slowly let go
- 01:38 - 01:44
and you feel the tension just go away and your fingers can escape and feel free.
- 01:46 - 01:46
So boys and girls,
- 01:46 - 01:51
you can try that muscle relaxation whenever you feel like you need to
- 01:52 - 01:55
make a part of your body more free.
- 01:56 - 01:56
Okay,
- 01:56 - 02:02
so let's move on to our affirmations where we remember that we can decide how
- 02:02 - 02:07
our day will go based on how we want it to be and our thoughts.
- 02:07 - 02:11
And so these affirmations, please repeat after me.

Sometimes not everyone feels like they belong.
- 02:52 - 02:55
So it's very important for us to tell ourselves like, yes,
