S2E23, MORNING I Love You
[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!
[I LOVE YOU]
Taes: It's so good to see you. I really love getting to spend some time with you every morning. Some time with you, and some time with your big heart.
Today, I want to share with you my three favorite words. And then you are gonna head out into your day and be able to use those words as much as you possibly can.
Now can you take a minute, jump up on your feet, put your hands on that big heart of yours. Take a great big, huge, deep breath in. Let it out. And can you say, “I love you, heart”. Good.
Can you say, “I”? Can you say, “love”? Can you say, “You”?
Those are my three favorite words. I love you. Can you say it? “I love you”.
And did you know if you are having great big cloudy feelings in your day, if you say the words, “I love you”, those big cloudy feelings will start to shift and change into sunny feelings.
But who are you saying “I love you” to?
Now, here's the thing you can say “I love you” to absolutely anything at all.
Repeat after me. “I love you tree. I love you rock. I love you book. I love you flower. I love you, toast. I love you, pizza. I love you, spinach. I love you shoes.”
You see where I'm going here?
So here is my mission for you today. I want you today to try to say “I love you” to as many things as possible. You can do this out loud, you can do it in your head. You can also say, I love you to as many people as you want to, but try today to use the words “I love you” as much as possible and see how it feels inside of your heart to say the words I love you.
And you know what? I love you. I can't wait to see you tonight. We are going to go through all of the different things that you love today, and then say a few more before going to sleep. Have an amazing big heart 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.
