Hello,
I'm Jackie.
Today we celebrate learning and growing each and every day,
And we're going to say some affirmations to help us.
Do you want to know a secret?
Affirmations are like little seeds of goodness.
When we say them again and again,
They grow into big,
Strong,
Happy thoughts.
Let's start with a deep breath in and out.
Breathe in and out.
Breathe in and out.
I'll say some short phrases and then I'll pause so you can repeat them.
Ready?
Say after me.
Every day I grow stronger and smarter.
I love to explore and discover new things.
I keep trying even when it's hard.
It's OK to ask questions when I don't understand.
I am capable of achieving great things.
Now imagine yourself as a tall sunflower.
Where are you growing?
In a garden?
A park?
Or maybe in a field full of other tall,
Strong sunflowers?
Every drop of rain that falls helps you grow,
And every ray of sunshine makes your petals shine brighter.
Picture your beautiful yellow sunflower face with a big smile on it.
Say after me.
I grow a little more each day.
And remember,
When the wind blows,
Sunflowers bend over and sway about.
That's OK,
Because when the wind has passed,
They stand tall again.
Say I am resilient.
I recover quickly when life blows me about.
I stand tall and proud again.
Have you ever made a mistake in your life?
I have.
Oh,
So often.
And I still do.
But you know what?
Mistakes aren't bad.
They're our teachers.
They show us new and better ways to grow.
Say I learn from my mistakes.
Mistakes help me grow.
Now give a big stretch as your sunflower stands even taller and stronger.
And say I am growing in every way.
Great job!
The affirmations you've just said have planted seeds of learning and growth in your life.
Carry them with you and let them grow stronger every day.
Bye for now!
