Good morning Friends and Happy Monday. Welcome to today's Mindful mornings
- 00:07 - 00:10
where we are practicing mindfulness
- 00:11 - 00:13
and friends. Mindfulness means
- 00:13 - 00:15
being fully here
- 00:15 - 00:18
and focusing on where we are
- 00:18 - 00:18
right now,
- 00:19 - 00:23
starting your day with mindfulness can help you prepare
- 00:23 - 00:25
to have a really great day
- 00:25 - 00:28
because you are preparing your body
- 00:28 - 00:29
and your mind
- 00:29 - 00:33
to really focus on the things that you want to say,
- 00:33 - 00:35
the things you want to do,
- 00:35 - 00:37
the choices you want to make
- 00:37 - 00:40
and who you get to talk to throughout saying
- 00:41 - 00:47
being mindful is making sure you are walking correctly in line,
- 00:47 - 00:50
It means making sure you're following directions,
- 00:51 - 00:55
being mindful and thinking of other people around you
- 00:56 - 00:59
and that can all prepare you to have a great day friends.
- 00:59 - 01:05
So for today's mindfulness activity we will be noticing more of our surroundings.
- 01:05 - 01:09
So go ahead and sit comfortably in your chair
- 01:10 - 01:14
and we're going to go ahead and start with some breathing.
- 01:16 - 01:18
You're going to breathe in through your nose
- 01:19 - 01:21
and out through your mouth.
- 01:30 - 01:34
When I take a moment to breathe and take a step back,
- 01:34 - 01:39
I can really focus on my words and the rate of my speech.
- 01:39 - 01:45
Sometimes Miss Lopez talk so fast but when I practice mindfulness,
- 01:45 - 01:50
I'm able to slow down my speech so others can understand me
- 01:50 - 01:52
and that is all mindfulness.
- 01:53 - 01:55
So now that we took our deep breath in friends,
- 01:56 - 01:57
we're going to take a moment
- 01:58 - 02:01
to look around the room, you're in right now.
- 02:02 - 02:04
Go ahead and look around
- 02:04 - 02:10
and today we're gonna focus on everything that you see that is the color yellow.
- 02:11 - 02:13
Our sun is out and bright today.
- 02:13 - 02:16
So go ahead and look at the room around you
- 02:17 - 02:19
and focus on everything
- 02:20 - 02:21
that is yellow.
- 02:47 - 02:50
Once we take a moment friends to notice the things around us,
- 02:51 - 02:54
we might see things that we have not seen before.
- 02:54 - 02:58
And part of mindfulness is knowing the things around you,
- 02:59 - 03:00
noticing
- 03:01 - 03:05
your surroundings so that you can make those great choices.
- 03:06 - 03:11
So for our last part of mindful mornings, let's go ahead and go over.
- 03:11 - 03:13
Our affirmations for the day
- 03:14 - 03:17
are affirmations helped build our confidence.
- 03:17 - 03:20
It helps believe in ourselves to have a growth mindset.
- 03:21 - 03:23
And the more we say these affirmations,
- 03:23 - 03:25
the more we know they will be true.
- 03:26 - 03:28
So go ahead and repeat after me. Friends,
- 03:29 - 03:29

- 03:30 - 03:33
I am in control of my choices.
- 03:34 - 03:37
I am in control of my choices.
- 03:39 - 03:42
I am in control of my body.
- 03:43 - 03:46
I am in control of my body.
