Transcript

00:03

Hello! I’m Mrs. Lecakes, your friendly School Counselor! I was thinking about you today.

00:10

I was wondering if you know about MINDFULNESS.

00:23

Think about this……..

00:30

Last time you were outside did you

00:31

Notice that you saw something?

00:32

Or notice that you heard something?

00:33

Or notice that you smelled something?

00:40

How Did you feel about it?

00:44

Happy!!

00:45

Free!!

00:46

Content!

00:55

That's what mindfulness is: Using your senses To see or hear or smell something and being aware of how you feel about...

01:03

How you are

01:04

Where you are

01:08

Who you are

01:16

You might be asking: Why is this important For me??

01:22

Since the beginning of time……..

01:28

People have just known how to keep themselves alive and well

01:36

We find shelter, heat, friends, and things that make us happy….

01:45

….And we find food and water!

01:57

Sometimes that puts us into DANGER!

01:58

Hey, Guys!! Their fire is out!! Let’s go!!

02:04

It’s in those dangerous situations that mindfulness comes in handy and helps to protect us.

02:12

I hear something outside and it’s making me a little scared!!

02:14

I smell something, too!! It reminds me of BEAR!! I’ll get my BB gun!

02:23

Just imagine what would have happened here if they were not mindful of where they were or how they felt about it!

02:32

Now, I know we don’t find ourselves in the same place as bears these days…..

02:41

….So how do we protect ourselves NOW by using mindfulness?

This one is an easy one....even little kids know to be mindful crossing the street

02:55

So lets try one That's a bit harder to remembEr....

03:02

I have homework......

03:04

.... But I can't believe she just said that!!

03:06

I have to tell him before he sees that snap!!

03:12

what does this have to do with keeping me safe????

03:18

Safety = Security When you know the answers to your test you feel secure... and unafraid to take that test!

03:24

It's up to you to stay mindful.... present... when you have work to do.

03:27

This keeps you safe from those dreaded F's....and the fear of telling your parents!

03:34

Homework Time!!

03:36

So....Mindfulness, or being aware of where, who, and how you are, keeps you in a place where you can respond to what is around you and stay safe, secure, and healthy.

03:46
