Good morning my friends,
- 00:03 - 00:06
Happy thursday and welcome to today's mindful
- 00:06 - 00:09
mornings where we are practicing the art of
- 00:11 - 00:12
mindfulness
- 00:12 - 00:16
and I do that friends. Because I've been practicing
- 00:16 - 00:19
thinking before I say something
- 00:19 - 00:21
so I've gotten into the habit of doing
- 00:22 - 00:23
let me think
- 00:25 - 00:31
okay now I have an answer because sometimes we are not mindful friends,
- 00:31 - 00:36
we are not thinking of the moment and we just react without thinking
- 00:36 - 00:40
about what we want to say and what we want to do.
- 00:41 - 00:45
So for today's mindfulness activity to be fully here in the moment
- 00:46 - 00:51
we are going to practice taking a deep breath in before we're about to say something.
- 00:51 - 00:53
We're going to practice breathing for five
- 00:53 - 00:58
seconds before we respond to a friend's question
- 00:58 - 01:03
or respond to something that someone does to us that we may not like.
- 01:04 - 01:06
So let's say for example friends
- 01:06 - 01:08
you are out on the playground
- 01:08 - 01:10
and then someone pushes you
- 01:11 - 01:13
now instead of pushing back,
- 01:13 - 01:18
I want us to try that five second breathing so sit comfortably in your chair.
- 01:19 - 01:22
Someone just pushed us and we're going to breathe for
- 01:23 - 01:23
one
- 01:24 - 01:25
two,
- 01:25 - 01:27
Hold it for three,
- 01:27 - 01:28
four,
- 01:31 - 01:32
Let it go on five.
- 01:33 - 01:34
And now what do we want to do?
- 01:35 - 01:37
Do we want to push this person back
- 01:37 - 01:39
or do we want to tell them
- 01:39 - 01:42
please don't push me anymore and then maybe go tell an adult.
- 01:43 - 01:45
So let's practice that one more time
- 01:47 - 01:48
We're ready in our chair
- 01:49 - 01:51
and we're going to take a deep breath in for one
- 01:52 - 01:53
two,
- 01:53 - 01:56
Hold it for three and 4
- 01:58 - 02:00
And let it go for five
- 02:00 - 02:02
and now we can make a choice
- 02:03 - 02:06
so that mindfulness activity friends is to help us
- 02:06 - 02:09
think before we say something and think before we
- 02:09 - 02:15
do something and that can help us be mindful in a moment where we are with friends,
- 02:15 - 02:22
we are with family, we are with our teachers, helps us be mindful in the moment.
- 02:22 - 02:25
So let's move over to our affirmations.
- 02:26 - 02:28
Go ahead and repeat these after me.
- 02:29 - 02:31

- 02:31 - 02:32

I am the master of my mind.
- 02:42 - 02:44
I am the master of my mind.

- 02:58 - 02:59
of myself.

- 03:03 - 03:04
of myself.
- 03:07 - 03:07
There they are.
- 03:07 - 03:12
Friends are affirmations to remind us we are in total control of our own bodies,
- 03:12 - 03:16
our own choices, our own thoughts and what we say.
- 03:16 - 03:17
And do.
