  Good morning Friends and happy Wednesday.

• 00:05 - 00:08

  Welcome to Today's Mindful Mornings where we

• 00:08 - 00:11

  are practicing the art of being mindful

• 00:11 - 00:15

  and mindfulness means being present in the moment.

• 00:15 - 00:19

  It means focusing your attention on what we need to focus on.

• 00:20 - 00:24

  It means letting go of all the other worries.

• 00:24 - 00:29

  We thank our brain for reminding us of those worries and decide

• 00:29 - 00:33

  to mindfully put those away so that we are able to focus

• 00:33 - 00:35

  on what we need to.

• 00:36 - 00:37

  Mindfulness means

• 00:38 - 00:39

  listening to the speaker.

• 00:40 - 00:41

  It means

• 00:41 - 00:44

  noticing how you feel in that moment.

• 00:45 - 00:49

  And making a choice that you want instead of

• 00:49 - 00:54

  making a choice that just reacts with certain emotions.

• 00:54 - 00:58

  So being mindful means really noticing how you're feeling

• 00:59 - 01:02

  and then choosing what you want to do with that feeling.

• 01:03 - 01:05

  So for today's mindfulness activity. Friends,

• 01:06 - 01:07

  not our affirmations

• 01:08 - 01:10

  for today's in mindfulness activity.

• 01:10 - 01:12

  Friends go ahead and sit comfortably in your chair.

• 01:13 - 01:15

  And we're gonna start with our deep breath in.

• 01:16 - 01:18

  I like to feel the breath on my chest.

• 01:19 - 01:20

  You do not have to

• 01:23 - 01:24

  breathe in

• 01:25 - 01:27

  and out.

• 01:31 - 01:34

  That made me feel like I just released a lot of tension

• 01:34 - 01:35

  that I was feeling a lot of

• 01:36 - 01:38

  weight and stress that I was feeling.

• 01:39 - 01:42

  And we're gonna go ahead and focus on the sounds that we hear.

• 01:42 - 01:49

  So for this everyone needs to be quiet so that we can focus on the sounds that we hear.

• 01:49 - 01:51

  If it's easier for you.

• 01:51 - 01:55

  You can go ahead and close your eyes as we listen to the following sounds.

• 02:16 - 02:17

  Mm hmm.

• 02:34 - 02:34

  Yeah.

• 02:53 - 02:56

  What were some of the sounds that you heard? Friends?

• 02:58 - 02:59

  I heard a bird.

• 02:59 - 03:02

  And I opened my eyes thinking I was going to see a bird.

• 03:04 - 03:08

  I hear a soft musical instrument in the background

• 03:09 - 03:10

  and I could hear the wind

• 03:11 - 03:14

  and I almost heard a splash of water.

• 03:15 - 03:18

  You're being very mindful as we really focus on

• 03:18 - 03:21

  the sound that we are hearing in that moment.

• 03:22 - 03:25
