  Good morning friends and happy Wednesday.

• 00:04 - 00:09

  Welcome to another day of mindful mornings where we are practicing

• 00:09 - 00:10

  mindfulness.

• 00:11 - 00:14

  We practice mindfulness to get us ready for the day

• 00:15 - 00:19

  to be prepared to make choices about what we want to say and

• 00:19 - 00:24

  what we want to do so that we are aware of our surroundings.

• 00:24 - 00:31

  So we are aware of what we feel and what others feel that is practicing

• 00:31 - 00:32

  mindfulness

• 00:33 - 00:36

  and mindfulness can help us in many different ways.

• 00:37 - 00:42

  One of the most important ways that can help us is to learn to control our body,

• 00:43 - 00:46

  to control some of our emotions.

• 00:46 - 00:49

  So for today's mindfulness activity we are going to

• 00:49 - 00:53

  calm our body once again using peaceful spots.

• 00:53 - 00:56

  So go ahead and sit comfortably in your chair.

• 00:57 - 01:02

  And maybe you've seen me doing the peaceful spot activity with some friends.

• 01:02 - 01:07

  Maybe you haven't. But if you see us doing that now you will know what it is for.

• 01:08 - 01:10

  So everyone can use their thumb

• 01:11 - 01:12

  as a peaceful spot

• 01:13 - 01:21

  and everyone has these spots on their body to help you feel at peace and at calmness.

• 01:21 - 01:23

  So what you're going to do

• 01:24 - 01:25

  is you're going to take each finger

• 01:26 - 01:27

  and press it against your thumb.

• 01:28 - 01:32

  You are pressing those fingers onto your peaceful spot.

• 01:34 - 01:38

  You can do it in any order you will like but you

• 01:38 - 01:43

  are imagining your peaceful spots in order to calm your body.

• 01:44 - 01:47

  And while we're doing that we're not forgetting to

• 01:47 - 01:50

  take our deep breaths in so that we can get

• 01:50 - 01:53

  all that oxygen into our brain and our body

• 01:53 - 01:56

  so that we can think clearly and be mindful.

• 01:59 - 02:00

  So we are breathing in

• 02:02 - 02:03

  as we are touching

• 02:05 - 02:06

  our peaceful spots.

• 02:11 - 02:13

  You may use one hand

• 02:15 - 02:16

  or both

• 02:27 - 02:28

  and that

• 02:28 - 02:31

  there's another mindful activity that we can try friends.

• 02:32 - 02:34

  Let's go ahead and move on

• 02:34 - 02:37

  to our affirmations for the day.

• 02:38 - 02:43

  Go ahead and repeat after me these very true affirmations.

• 02:44 - 02:44

  Every day.

• 03:20 - 03:24

  that you can make good choices. You can make responsible choices

• 03:25 - 03:28

  and you can choose to believe all of these things

  because the more we say it, the more we know they are true.
