  Good morning my friends,

• 00:03 - 00:06

  Happy thursday and welcome to today's Mindful

• 00:06 - 00:09

  morning where we are practicing mindfulness,

• 00:09 - 00:14

  we are practicing getting our minds and our bodies ready for a great day.

• 00:15 - 00:20

  We are getting our mindset ready into thinking that we can achieve anything,

• 00:20 - 00:23

  we can learn anything and we can be prepared.

• 00:24 - 00:27

  So for today's mindfulness activity, My friends,

• 00:28 - 00:29

  I'm going to ask you

• 00:30 - 00:32

  those are affirmations. We're not there yet.

• 00:33 - 00:36

  So for our mindfulness activity for today,

• 00:36 - 00:42

  friends go ahead and start by sitting comfortably in your chair as always.

• 00:42 - 00:43

  Mhm.

• 00:44 - 00:45

  Take your deep breath in

• 00:48 - 00:51

  and your deep breath out.

• 00:53 - 00:56

  Let's do that one more time. And I'll tell you why

• 00:56 - 00:57

  deep breath in

• 01:01 - 01:03

  and deep breath out.

• 01:06 - 01:09

  I wanted to do that one more time. Friends because

• 01:10 - 01:11

  over the last couple of days,

• 01:11 - 01:15

  on mindful mornings we've only been taking one deep breath in

• 01:15 - 01:18

  and after something turns into a habit

• 01:18 - 01:21

  it's easier for us not to think mindfully about it.

• 01:21 - 01:25

  And we just keep doing it and doing it without really thinking.

• 01:25 - 01:31

  So the task here was to do another breathing. To get you to think, oh wait another one.

• 01:31 - 01:35

  And you get yourself back ready and do your breathing.

• 01:35 - 01:38

  You're being mindful about the instructions.

• 01:38 - 01:41

  You're being mindful about what you're being asked to do

• 01:42 - 01:44

  and that my friends is being in the present moment.

• 01:45 - 01:49

  But I would like you to think about now that we did our breathing.

• 01:49 - 01:53

  I'd like you to think about the different ways that you feel cared for.

• 01:54 - 01:57

  Sometimes we forget that a lot of people do care about us

• 01:58 - 02:01

  and we're stuck thinking and all the negative things that people do.

• 02:02 - 02:03

  So for this moment.

• 02:04 - 02:06

  I'd like you to think about at least one thing

• 02:07 - 02:08

  that lets you know

• 02:08 - 02:10

  that people care about you.

• 02:10 - 02:12

  So this morning,

• 02:13 - 02:19

  I know that my husband cares about me because he prepared my coffee this morning.

• 02:20 - 02:25

  He prepared my drink. And that lets me know that he cares about me.

• 02:26 - 02:28

  So think about something

• 02:28 - 02:29

  that someone does for you.

• 02:29 - 02:35

  Or someone says to you that lets you know that they care about you.

• 02:41 - 02:43

  Did they say nice things to you?

• 02:45 - 02:47

  Does someone bring you to school?

• 02:49 - 02:49

  Mm hmm.

• 02:51 - 02:53

  Does your friend bring you a snack?

• 02:56 - 02:56

  Mhm.

• 03:01 - 03:03

  Now, I wish I could hear all of your responses.

• 03:03 - 03:07

  But I'm stuck in this little box right here in this video.

• 03:07 - 03:10

  So let's move on to our affirmations. Friends.

• 03:10 - 03:14

  I hope thinking about how people care about you. Made you feel good inside.

• 03:15 - 03:18

  So repeat these affirmations with me.

• 03:19 - 03:20

  I am cared for.

• 03:21 - 03:23

  I am cared for.

• 03:25 - 03:25

  I

• 03:26 - 03:26

  am loved,

• 03:27 - 03:29

  I am loved,

• 03:30 - 03:33

  I am important.

• 03:33 - 03:35

  I am

• 03:35 - 03:36

  important.

• 03:37 - 03:39

  And our last one. Friends,

• 03:39 - 03:41

  I can choose

• 03:41 - 03:42

  my mindset.

• 03:43 - 03:45

  I can choose

• 03:45 - 03:46

  my mindset.

• 03:46 - 03:46

  Yeah.

• 03:47 - 03:48

  And yes,

• 03:48 - 03:53

  these affirmations help us remember friends that we choose how we want our day to go.

• 03:53 - 03:57

  People can say mean things but we choose if we let it affect us.

• 03:58 - 04:00

  We choose how we think about things.

• 04:00 - 04:05

  If we want to stay positive or if we want to be gloomy all day. Our choice friends.

• 04:05 - 04:10

  So have a great day today. You can choose that, and I will see you all next time.

• 04:10 - 04:12

  Thanks for joining Mindful mornings.
