Good morning my friends, Happy Tuesday and welcome to Today's Mindful mornings.
- 00:08 - 00:11
We are practicing mindfulness today
- 00:11 - 00:13
by listening to another script.
- 00:14 - 00:18
The script is going to tell us what to focus on
- 00:18 - 00:22
how to breathe and how to be mindful for that moment.
- 00:23 - 00:28
So today's Mindful moment is called focusing on your colors.
- 00:29 - 00:32
So we're going to start by being comfortable in our chairs again
- 00:32 - 00:35
and we're going to take a few mindful breaths.
- 00:35 - 00:36
That means
- 00:37 - 00:40
feel in your body where the air is going
- 00:40 - 00:44
and allow all your energy to settle in your chair.
- 00:45 - 00:48
So practice with me. Take one mindful breath in
- 00:51 - 00:54
and a mindful breath out.
- 00:56 - 00:58
We're gonna do two more
- 00:58 - 00:59
mindful breath in
- 01:02 - 01:04
mindful breath out,
- 01:06 - 01:07
Last one. Friends
- 01:08 - 01:09
breath in
- 01:12 - 01:14
and breath out
- 01:18 - 01:20
now that some of our energy has settled.
- 01:21 - 01:24
Go ahead and pick one color to focus on
- 01:24 - 01:27
Your choice. Friends pick one color
- 01:27 - 01:28
to focus on
- 01:31 - 01:31
the
- 01:33 - 01:36
Now look around the room now that you have your color
- 01:37 - 01:38
and only find
- 01:39 - 01:40
one thing
- 01:40 - 01:41
that you can see
- 01:42 - 01:44
that is the color. You have picked.
- 01:44 - 01:45
One thing.
- 01:47 - 01:53
I'll give you a couple of seconds to find that color and that one thing in that color
- 01:53 - 01:55
that you're going to choose to focus on.
- 01:59 - 02:00
You got it,
- 02:01 - 02:03
couple more seconds,
- 02:03 - 02:05
find your item.
- 02:06 - 02:06
Okay,
- 02:08 - 02:09
now look at it
- 02:09 - 02:12
as if you have never seen this before,
- 02:14 - 02:16
pretend you have never seen something like it.
- 02:18 - 02:19
Notice
- 02:19 - 02:21
what size is it?
- 02:21 - 02:23
Is it large,
- 02:23 - 02:24
small
- 02:25 - 02:26
medium,
- 02:27 - 02:29
notice the shape.
- 02:30 - 02:31
What shape is it?
- 02:32 - 02:33
Circle,
- 02:34 - 02:35
square,
- 02:37 - 02:38
triangle,
- 02:39 - 02:41
a shape you don't recognize?
- 02:42 - 02:42
Mhm
- 02:43 - 02:45
Does it look like it could be soft,
- 02:47 - 02:49
Does it look like it could maybe poke your finger?
- 02:52 - 02:54
Does it look rough to the touch?
- 02:56 - 02:57
I'm wondering
- 02:58 - 03:00
would it feel cold if you touched it?
- 03:01 - 03:02
Would it feel hot
- 03:02 - 03:04
if you touched it?
- 03:06 - 03:08
What do you think it smells like?
- 03:10 - 03:13
What do you think it tastes like?
- 03:14 - 03:19
Would you be able to hold it in your arms or hold it in your hands
- 03:20 - 03:22
and we already know what color it is, friends
- 03:23 - 03:26
and that was our mindfulness activity for today.
- 03:26 - 03:28
You can try that when you're at home
- 03:28 - 03:30
finding an item that you like
- 03:30 - 03:35
and pretending you have never seen it in your life and really, really focus
- 03:36 - 03:37
and be mindful about the shape,
- 03:38 - 03:39
the color,
- 03:39 - 03:41
the smell, how it feels.
- 03:42 - 03:43
Using our senses
- 03:44 - 03:48
to notice an item we think we pretend we've never seen before.
- 03:49 - 03:49
Yeah.
- 03:49 - 03:53
And that my friends was our mindfulness activity
- 03:53 - 03:56
for today are scripts usually go for longer.
- 03:56 - 04:01
So remember your affirmations, whatever it is you would like to say to yourself,
- 04:01 - 04:04
if you want to be fast, say I'm a fast person
- 04:04 - 04:09
if you want to get better at reading you say I am a good reader, I am a great reader.
- 04:10 - 04:12
We choose our affirmations. Friends,
- 04:12 - 04:15
so have a good day and I will see you all tomorrow
