Good morning friends and happy Tuesday.
- 00:04 - 00:08
Welcome to Today's Mindful Morning where we are practicing
- 00:08 - 00:09
mindfulness
- 00:10 - 00:13
and as I've said before, mindfulness are many different things.
- 00:14 - 00:18
Being mindful can include knowing what your body is feeling,
- 00:19 - 00:21
noticing the things around you,
- 00:22 - 00:27
really thinking about what we say and what we do and what we are feeling.
- 00:28 - 00:30
All of that is mindfulness,
- 00:31 - 00:34
believe it or not. Mindfulness is also
- 00:34 - 00:37
feeling of something is really hot before we drink it.
- 00:38 - 00:39
We're being mindful
- 00:39 - 00:41
of something maybe hot.
- 00:41 - 00:42
I should really
- 00:43 - 00:47
feel it or stand closer to see if it's too hot for me to drink.
- 00:47 - 00:50
All of that is mindfulness
- 00:50 - 00:52
and the more mindful we are,
- 00:52 - 00:55
the more we can pay attention to our surroundings friends.
- 00:56 - 01:03
So a part of mindfulness is also noticing our breathing, noticing our body.
- 01:03 - 01:08
So yesterday one of my third grade friends asked me to do mindful mornings
- 01:08 - 01:10
using a rainbow breath
- 01:11 - 01:13
and my third grade friend taught me this.
- 01:13 - 01:16
So we're gonna go ahead and sit comfortably in our chair
- 01:17 - 01:20
and as we breathe, we're going to imagine our breath
- 01:21 - 01:22
as a rainbow.
- 01:23 - 01:31
So as we breathe in our rainbow comes out and as we breathe out it comes back in
- 01:32 - 01:32
so ready.
- 01:33 - 01:34
Take a deep breath in
- 01:37 - 01:38
and out,
- 01:40 - 01:42
deep breath in
- 01:45 - 01:46
and out.
- 01:48 - 01:51
We're gonna do our rainbow bath two more times,
- 01:52 - 01:53
breathe in
- 01:56 - 01:57
and out
- 01:58 - 02:01
Last one, make it a really good breath,
- 02:01 - 02:02
breathe in
- 02:05 - 02:06
and out
- 02:09 - 02:12
and we can use our rainbow breath whenever our
- 02:12 - 02:17
body needs to calm down whenever we are frustrated or
- 02:17 - 02:20
really upset and we need to bring back our body
- 02:20 - 02:23
and mind and thoughts to where we are at.
- 02:24 - 02:27
So let's move on to our affirmations for the day.
- 02:28 - 02:29
Go ahead and repeat after me.
- 02:30 - 02:31
I
- 02:31 - 02:32
am powerful.
- 02:33 - 02:34
I am powerful.
- 02:36 - 02:37
I am brave.
- 02:37 - 02:39
I am brave.
- 02:41 - 02:43
I am resilient.
- 02:43 - 02:45
I am resilient
- 02:46 - 02:49
and I am doing my best.
- 02:49 - 02:52
I am doing my best.
- 02:54 - 02:58
So thank you for joining me on today's mindful mornings for practicing a
- 02:58 - 03:01
new rainbow breath with me and I will see you all next time.
