Good morning my friends and happy friday.
- 00:04 - 00:08
Welcome to today's mindful mornings where we are practicing the art
- 00:09 - 00:10
of mindfulness.
- 00:10 - 00:15
We are getting our minds and our bodies ready for a great day,
- 00:15 - 00:20
we are preparing ourselves to be mindful to be present.
- 00:20 - 00:26
To really think about where we are in the moment, about the choices we are making,
- 00:26 - 00:30
what we say in the moment and what we do in the moment.
- 00:30 - 00:31
Friends,
- 00:31 - 00:35
sometimes it can be really hard to control your body
- 00:35 - 00:40
and you really want to do something or you really want to say something
- 00:40 - 00:43
but having control of your body and maybe choosing
- 00:43 - 00:46
the words that are going to come out,
- 00:46 - 00:49
choosing what your arms and legs will do.
- 00:49 - 00:52
That is all mindfulness.
- 00:53 - 00:57
So for our mindfulness activity for today let us go
- 00:57 - 01:01
ahead and prepare our bodies to be in that present moment
- 01:02 - 01:07
and a way to do that is to make sure that all of your body has enough oxygen
- 01:08 - 01:10
that all of your body is ready.
- 01:10 - 01:13
And we do that by practicing breathing.
- 01:13 - 01:20
But this time it may be a little different. So sit back comfortably in your chair
- 01:20 - 01:24
and I'm gonna ask you to take a few deep breaths in.
- 01:25 - 01:26
But as you breathe in,
- 01:27 - 01:31
I want you to really focus on where you want the air to go
- 01:32 - 01:35
now. You're thinking MS Lopez, can we really do that?
- 01:35 - 01:37
Well if you're thinking about it.
- 01:37 - 01:40
The point is to imagine that the air is going
- 01:40 - 01:44
into every part of your body so your whole self,
- 01:44 - 01:46
your whole body is ready
- 01:47 - 01:48
so we can practice
- 01:49 - 01:51
and you're going to take a deep breath in
- 01:53 - 01:58
and imagine it is filling all your lungs, it's filling your lungs
- 02:00 - 02:02
and you breathe out.
- 02:04 - 02:08
So as I was breathing I was thinking about all the air going into my lungs.
- 02:09 - 02:12
Next we're going to take a deep breath in
- 02:12 - 02:16
and imagine all the oxygen going into our brains.
- 02:16 - 02:17
Ready.
- 02:18 - 02:19
Deep breath in
- 02:23 - 02:25
and out.
- 02:28 - 02:33
I imagined it circling my brain, getting it ready to make great choices.
- 02:34 - 02:37
Next we're going to take a deep breath in
- 02:38 - 02:43
and it's going into your arms and fingers all the way to the tip
- 02:47 - 02:48
and out.
- 02:52 - 02:54
Next we're going to do our legs. Friends
- 02:54 - 02:56
take a deep breath in
- 02:57 - 03:01
into your legs and your toes. Your feet.
- 03:06 - 03:07
Deep breath out.
- 03:08 - 03:10
I don't know about you but my legs went up and
- 03:10 - 03:14
then they went down imagining all the air in my body.
- 03:15 - 03:17
Now this last breath we're going to take.
- 03:18 - 03:21
Make it the biggest deepest breath you can because this
- 03:21 - 03:23
air is going to go all over your body.
- 03:24 - 03:28
All over your body, into your fingers, your hands, your legs, your lungs,
- 03:28 - 03:30
your heart and your mind.
- 03:31 - 03:32
Ready.
- 03:32 - 03:34
Deep breath in
- 03:39 - 03:40
hold it there
- 03:42 - 03:42
mm hmm.
- 03:43 - 03:45
Deep breath out
- 03:47 - 03:51
and thank you Jett friends for joining me on that mindfulness activity.

I am in control of my own body.
- 04:02 - 04:03
I am in control

am in control of my thoughts.
- 04:11 - 04:13
I am in control
- 04:13 - 04:14
of my thoughts.
- 04:17 - 04:20
I can choose how things make me feel.
- 04:21 - 04:24
I can choose how things make me feel.
- 04:26 - 04:27
And the last one of my friends,
- 04:28 - 04:30
I am the only me.
- 04:31 - 04:32
I am
- 04:32 - 04:33
the only

me.
- 04:36 - 04:37
