  Good morning my friends and happy Tuesday.

• 00:04 - 00:10

  Welcome to today's Mindful morning where we are practicing some mindfulness

• 00:11 - 00:15

  Today I am sitting with mr Barber a lot of you

• 00:15 - 00:19

  who have been in the counseling center have used him for a

• 00:19 - 00:24

  big hug have used him to feel better and sometimes that really

• 00:24 - 00:27

  does help us friends just getting a hug from a friend.

• 00:28 - 00:30

  So for today's mindfulness activity

• 00:31 - 00:33

  we're going to go ahead and practice being

• 00:34 - 00:35

  fully here,

• 00:35 - 00:39

  we are practicing on focusing on where we are right now

• 00:40 - 00:45

  noticing the things that are around us right now and what we are feeling.

• 00:45 - 00:47

  So for today's mindfulness activity,

• 00:47 - 00:52

  go ahead and grab any item that you have next to you.

• 00:52 - 00:54

  Does not really matter which one,

• 00:55 - 00:57

  grab the first item that is next to you

• 00:58 - 01:03

  and we're going to go ahead and practice noticing every detail of that item.

• 01:04 - 01:09

  So I will give you a couple of seconds to just grab any item. Friends

• 01:09 - 01:11

  grab anything next to you.

• 01:12 - 01:13

  It could be a pencil,

• 01:14 - 01:15

  a book,

• 01:16 - 01:17

  your backpack,

• 01:18 - 01:20

  anything that you have next to you.

• 01:22 - 01:22

  You got it.

• 01:24 - 01:25

  Okay.

• 01:26 - 01:28

  So I have a stuffed animal with me

• 01:30 - 01:32

  and as we notice our item,

• 01:33 - 01:35

  go ahead and look at the color.

• 01:37 - 01:38

  Really look at the

• 01:41 - 01:43

  Is it one color

• 01:44 - 01:46

  two or three.

• 01:48 - 01:51

  Is it really, really bright

• 01:51 - 01:53

  or has it faded over time?

• 01:57 - 01:59

  Now look at the shape of your items.

• 02:01 - 02:04

  Does your item have a specific shape

• 02:05 - 02:06

  or a very odd shape?

• 02:09 - 02:10

  Hmm

• 02:11 - 02:12

  noticing this shape.

• 02:15 - 02:16

  What does it feel like

• 02:17 - 02:18

  when you touch it?

• 02:19 - 02:21

  Is it squishy?

• 02:22 - 02:23

  Is it hard,

• 02:24 - 02:25

  soft,

• 02:27 - 02:29

  scratchy Maybe?

• 02:31 - 02:33

  Does it feel cold

• 02:34 - 02:35

  smooth?

• 02:36 - 02:39

  What does it feel like when you touch it? Friends

• 02:45 - 02:46

  go ahead and

• 02:46 - 02:47

  tap it?

• 02:48 - 02:50

  Does it make a sound when you tap it?

• 02:56 - 02:56

  Hmm.

• 03:01 - 03:04

  Now look at the tiny details of it.

• 03:05 - 03:07

  Are there any scratches on it?

• 03:08 - 03:10

  Any rips or tears?

• 03:11 - 03:16

  Things that didn't used to be on your item. But now are.

• 03:26 - 03:29

  And that friends was our mindfulness activity

• 03:29 - 03:33

  because sometimes we're doing things so fast

• 03:33 - 03:37

  that we don't take the time to notice what is really in our hands.

• 03:37 - 03:40

  And that is also practicing mindfulness friends.

• 03:41 - 03:45

  So let's move on to our affirmations for today.

• 03:46 - 03:48

  Go ahead and repeat after me.

• 03:49 - 03:50

  I am

• 03:50 - 03:51

  relaxed.

• 03:52 - 03:53

  I am relaxed.

• 03:55 - 03:56

  I

• 03:56 - 03:57

  am calm.

• 03:58 - 03:59

  I am calm.

• 04:01 - 04:02

  I

• 04:02 - 04:03

  can control my body,

• 04:04 - 04:06

  I can control my body,
