  Good morning Friends and happy friday.

• 00:04 - 00:08

  Welcome to Today's Mindful Morning where we are practicing

• 00:09 - 00:10

  mindfulness

• 00:11 - 00:13

  and mindfulness for today

• 00:13 - 00:14

  means

• 00:15 - 00:17

  noticing your body,

• 00:17 - 00:19

  appreciating your body,

• 00:20 - 00:27

  noticing what you have today and what you are feeling today.

• 00:28 - 00:30

  So for today's mindfulness activity friends

• 00:30 - 00:34

  is we're going to go around and notice the parts of our body.

• 00:34 - 00:36

  And we're going to thank

• 00:36 - 00:41

  each of those parts because they are doing their job

• 00:41 - 00:45

  to make sure that we are going about our day.

• 00:45 - 00:51

  Being able to eat our lunch, being able to go play on the playground.

• 00:51 - 00:52

  So

• 00:52 - 00:54

  we're gonna start by sitting in our chair.

• 00:55 - 00:59

  You're gonna go ahead and take your deep breath in. Are you ready?

• 01:00 - 01:01

  Deep breath in

• 01:04 - 01:05

  hold

• 01:07 - 01:08

  and out.

• 01:12 - 01:14

  So we're gonna go ahead and start

• 01:14 - 01:15

  with our hands.

• 01:17 - 01:19

  Go ahead and notice your hands

• 01:21 - 01:24

  and then you're going to give them a quick thank you.

• 01:25 - 01:26

  Thank you.

• 01:27 - 01:29

  It might feel silly at first, but friends,

• 01:29 - 01:33

  if we take the time to thank each part of our body,

• 01:33 - 01:36

  we become more grateful for our body and we

• 01:36 - 01:40

  become more mindful of what our bodies can do.

• 01:40 - 01:46

  So we thanked our hands, we're going to go ahead and move on, let's say to our arms,

• 01:47 - 01:49

  Go ahead and notice your arms,

• 01:51 - 01:51

  hmm.

• 01:52 - 01:54

  And we say

• 01:54 - 01:55

  thank you.

• 01:56 - 02:00

  Now we're moving on to our marvelous brain.

• 02:00 - 02:06

  I know we can't feel our brain but go ahead and touch the top of your head

• 02:08 - 02:12

  and the fact that you're thinking about your brain is noticing it

• 02:13 - 02:15

  and go ahead and say thank you brain.

• 02:16 - 02:17

  Thank our brain.

• 02:19 - 02:24

  Let's go ahead and move on to our nose, our mouth and our ears,

• 02:25 - 02:26

  our nose,

• 02:26 - 02:27

  our mouth

• 02:28 - 02:29

  and our ears,

• 02:32 - 02:33

  you can feel them

• 02:35 - 02:38

  take a breath in to use your nose

• 02:39 - 02:41

  a breath out to use your mouth

• 02:42 - 02:45

  and quickly say thank you to your nose,

• 02:46 - 02:49

  Thank you to your ears and thank you to your mouth.

• 02:50 - 02:54

  Now we're gonna go move on to our friends.

• 02:54 - 02:56

  So 12 around your feet,

• 02:58 - 02:59

  feel your legs

• 03:01 - 03:04

  try to wheel your toes

• 03:06 - 03:09

  and quickly say thank you feet

• 03:10 - 03:17

  and thank you to your legs. That they can help you run and play and sit and walk and kick

• 03:18 - 03:20

  all of those things, friends.

• 03:21 - 03:26

  And then the last part friends, we're gonna go ahead and thank our heart.

• 03:28 - 03:30

  We're going to feel our heart.

• 03:31 - 03:32

  We're going to feel the heartbeat

• 03:34 - 03:38

  and we're going to thank our heart for pumping blood into our body.

• 03:39 - 03:43

  We're going to thank our heart for allowing us to be kind to others.

• 03:44 - 03:49

  We're going to thank our heart for allowing us to love ourselves

• 03:49 - 03:52

  for allowing us to love other people

• 03:52 - 03:56

  and for just allowing us to live on this Earth friends.

• 03:57 - 04:01

  So we're gonna go ahead and say thank you to our heart

• 04:02 - 04:06

  and the more we notice our body, friends, the more we will notice what we can do.

• 04:07 - 04:10

  So let's move on to our affirmations.

• 04:10 - 04:12

  Go ahead and repeat after me,

• 04:13 - 04:13

  I am

• 04:34 - 04:35

  a responsible

• 04:35 - 04:36

  student.

• 04:37 - 04:42

  The more we say these friends, the more we can practice and they will become true.
