S2E42, NIGHT Go With The Flow
[INTRODUCTION]
Taes: Hello, my name is Taes and I am so happy to be here with you at the very end of our day to say goodnight.
It is just such a good time to think back on what happened today on how we felt throughout the day and just wind down together.
Are you ready?
Me too.
I love knowing all day long that I get to see you and hear about how your day was and how you're feeling.
So, first of all, I just wanna say, thank you so much for being here with me.
[GO WITH THE FLOW]
Taes: Once you have put on your pjs, brushed your teeth, said goodnight to everybody in your house, can you grab a stuffy or maybe a blanket and cozy up and get nice and comfortable?
It is so good to spend some time with you at the end of the day. And I wanna know if today you had some go-with-the-flow moments.
This morning, we talked about going with the flow, about sometimes we just wanna be like a river and just roll with whatever is happening in our day. And this is a practice that we can do throughout our day.
So, if you were with us this morning, you would have learned how to be a river and go with the flow. And tonight, I wanna know if there are any times that today you took a deep breath, you listened to your heart and you said, “I go with the flow”.
And if you weren't here this morning, that's okay. You can still look back on your day. And just think about if there was something that didn't happen the way that you wanted to. What did you do in those moments?
So let's just reflect back on your day and think about whether you had any go-with-the-flow moments. “I go with the flow”.
And if you're listening with somebody else right now, can you share your go-with-the-flow moments with them?
Now can you put your arms out beside you? Can you wiggle them, like you are a river? And can you say, “I go with the flow”?
You know, I'm proud of you for the times that you went with the flow today. And for the times that you didn't, because I know that just by recognizing when you go with the flow and recognizing when you don't, you are on a journey to be really, really good at moving through your big feelings. And this is all practice.
So, right now, can you put your hands in your heart? Take a great big, deep breath in and let it out. And can you say, “I love you heart”?
[CLOSING]
Taes: Thank you to you for being here with me.
I can't wait to see you tomorrow morning.
Have an amazing sleep with lots of happy dreams.
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.
