S1E13, MORNING I Love You and Someone You Love
[INTRODUCTION]
Taes: Good morning. My name is Taes and I want to welcome you to today.
Can you wave your hand and say, “Good morning, day.”
Can you put your hands on your heart and say, “Good morning, heart.”
And I want to say good morning to you.
I just love getting to start today with you as we check in, as we wake up our bodies, and as we think about what is in store for us today.
Are you ready to start off our morning? Great!
So let's get started with our activity.
[I LOVE YOU]
Taes: You know, when you first wake up and you see yourself in the mirror?
This is something that you can do in that moment. And you can do it every day, all day, whenever you see yourself in the mirror.
It goes like this: First, you're going to look at your beautiful face and you're going to get up really close to it, like really close so you can see all of the beautiful details and you're going to say your name.
Are you ready? Say your name. Say it even louder. Good.
And then you're going to say, “I love you”. Good.
Now you're going to wiggle your eyebrows and you're going to say, “Oh yeah, I really do.”
Okay, so altogether, you're going to see your face in the mirror. Just imagine you're doing it right now. We're just practicing. You're going to get up really close to your beautiful face. And you're going to say your name.
I would say “Taes”! And what name would you say? Yes. Good.
And then you'll say, “I love you”. You try it.
Now wiggle your eyebrows and say, “Oh yeah, I really do”.
Good. Okay. Let's do it all together. Ready?
Get up really close to your beautiful face. Say your name. Say, “I love you”. Now, wiggle your eyebrows and say, “Oh yeah, I really do”.
Yes. This is the big heart way of seeing yourself in the mirror. And let me tell you, it is so good when you can see yourself with love. So, next time you see yourself in the mirror, you get right up close to that face of yours, and you tell yourself how much you love you.
And I want to let you know that I love you too. I hope that you and that beautiful face of yours have an amazing day.
[CLOSING]
Taes: I'm so excited for you and for your day.
And I want to say thank you so much for starting today with me and for setting yourself up for a big heart kind of day.
I can't wait to see you tonight and hear about all of the things that you did.
Remember: there is nobody in the whole world with a heart, just like yours.
I love you. And I love your big heart so much.
