Good morning Las Palmas celebrities.
- 00:03 - 00:06
This is MS Lopez, your school counselor and welcome to
- 00:06 - 00:09
mindful mornings where we get a chance to reflect on
- 00:09 - 00:11
what we would like our day to be.
- 00:12 - 00:15
It's a chance for us to set ourselves up for
- 00:15 - 00:17
success for having a good day.
- 00:18 - 00:23
So we are going to be practicing mindfulness being present,
- 00:24 - 00:26
which means being fully here.
- 00:27 - 00:30
We're not thinking about the past, the future are about
- 00:31 - 00:33
many of our worries which we may have and that's
- 00:33 - 00:37
okay. But being present means that for a moment we
- 00:38 - 00:39
take that away from our minds so that we can
- 00:40 - 00:42
focus on where we are right now which is in
- 00:43 - 00:46
class with our peers, with our teachers and with everyone
- 00:46 - 00:47
that cares about us.
- 00:48 - 00:51
So in order to practice mindfulness, there's so many things
- 00:51 - 00:53
we can do today.
- 00:54 - 00:56
I'm choosing this breathing activity.
- 00:56 - 00:57
It's very simple.
- 00:58 - 01:00
We imagine we have something like this in our hands
- 01:01 - 01:05
and it expands and contracts as we breathe.
- 01:06 - 01:08
So imagine that is in your hand and I want
- 01:08 - 01:15
you to take a deep breath in and a deep
- 01:15 - 01:20
breath out notice when we breathe in it expands and
- 01:20 - 01:22
when we breathe out it contracts.
- 01:23 - 01:24
Let's try this again.
- 01:24 - 01:37
You're able to do it silently in your desk and
- 01:37 - 01:40
that is a path of mindfulness poison girl is something
- 01:40 - 01:43
we can easily practice to get us in our moment.
- 01:45 - 01:49
And next we have our I am affirmations which remind
- 01:49 - 01:53
us that we have the power to create our own
- 01:53 - 01:54
reality. We have choice.
- 01:55 - 01:57
We get to decide how we want our day to
- 01:57 - 01:59
go. So repeat after me.
- 01:59 - 02:02
Boys and girls, we are intelligent.
- 02:04 - 02:04
We are intelligent.
- 02:06 - 02:07
We are resilient.
- 02:09 - 02:11
That means that troubles may come our way, but we
- 02:11 - 02:12
come up stronger.
- 02:13 - 02:14
We are loved.
- 02:15 - 02:16
And we are safe.
- 02:17 - 02:20
If you repeat your I am affirmations to yourself every
- 02:21 - 02:22
day that will become more and more true.
- 02:23 - 02:25
So whenever you need a reminder about who you are
- 02:26 - 02:27
and what you are capable of.
- 02:27 - 02:29
Try these, I am affirmations.
- 02:31 - 02:32
So have a great day.
- 02:32 - 02:35
Boys and girls have a power of choice.
- 02:36 - 02:39
Remember that you are safe here at school and we
- 02:39 - 02:40
all believe in your potential.
