00:13Welcome back
00:14That was awesome
00:15That was awesome
00:17As a biology teacher, I start each class
00:20with a five minute of mindfulness
00:22We actually can be more productive
00:24more efficient, more focused
00:26Studies show that it actually
00:27makes the brain more integrated
00:30It allows you to focus
00:31attention better
00:33Mindfulness is knowing
00:35what you are doing, when you are doing it
00:39This is not going to work well
00:41unless this is steady and balanced
00:44Who are you going to be in the longest
00:45relationship with for your whole life?
00:48Yourself
00:48So why would you not take time to take care of yourself
00:51right? Teachers and students
00:53need to be able to build
00:55their own tool kit
00:57and have a bunch of different tools
00:59Mindfulness is just one of those tools
01:01to help them move through their lives
01:03with more ease, more comfort, more space
01:06As mindfulness goes on
01:07you seem to find a purpose for yourself
01:09and you seem to find who you are
01:11I'm believing just free
01:13Just free, just free, just free
01:16Just free, just free
01:17Mindfulness gives us the opportunity to say
01:19What if I respond with compassion?
01:21What if I start to care about my pain
01:23rather than hate it?
01:24The average person checks his or her cell phone
01:27221 times a day
01:29Can we check in with ourselves at least a few times a day?
01:32Thank you
01:32Thank you
01:34Thank you
01:34Thank you
01:34Thank you
01:42Thank you
