It's mine time.
Take some time now to just relax.
Get yourself into a comfortable position.
When you're ready,
Close your eyes.
I want you to just take some deep breaths.
Make sure your breath is going all the way down to your belly button.
Breathe the oxygen in all the way down.
Hold for a few seconds and breathe out.
It's mine time.
This is time for you now.
So just relax.
You are standing outside and it is a beautiful,
Clear night.
You look up and you see thousands of stars scattered over the entire sky.
They're all different shapes and sizes,
But there is one in particular that grabs your attention.
As you gaze at this star,
You notice it is getting brighter and brighter.
The star that is shining the brightest tonight is gold.
This gold star is going to teach us about gratitude and to have thanks for everything in our life.
The pot of gold is a reminder for you to have gratitude.
Gratitude means that you are thankful for all the things you appreciate in your life.
Think of a pot of gold.
It is overflowing with treasures.
And when you use gratitude and say thank you,
You will notice how your life is overflowing with treasures too.
An important part of life is learning to be thankful for everything.
Whether it is big or small,
You can show gratitude through expression or words.
A beaming smile,
Writing someone a letter,
A hug,
Or just saying thank you out loud.
If you want more friends,
You have to be grateful for the ones you do have.
If you want new clothes,
Be grateful for the ones you have now.
If you want to be better at something,
Be grateful for how much you have learnt so far.
Be grateful for what you've got now.
Start saying thank you for absolutely everything.
Thank you for the clean water I have to drink.
Thank you for the birds I watched playing in the trees.
Thank you for the paper so I can draw and be creative.
You can even say thank you for what you want to have happen in your life.
Thank you for my new mountain bike.
Thank you for our holiday to the beach.
Or thank you for my growing confidence.
When you come from a place of gratitude,
You can give with love because you know you have enough.
Gratitude is also about receiving wonderful gifts sent your way.
The universe wants to shower you with gifts and will give you lots of opportunities to receive them.
You can receive gifts by noticing them and saying thank you for them as they arrive.
Some of these gifts may be the girl that's always kind to you,
The boy that makes you laugh in class,
Or the kid that always includes you.
Do you notice these gifts when they show up for you?
Are you seeing them?
Are you awake?
Sometimes we do not notice these gifts or feel that we deserve them.
And therefore we close our eyes to them.
We send our gifts back to the universe.
Don't worry,
The universe wills for you to receive and wants you to have these.
So it will always give you another opportunity to receive again.
Just maybe in a different way than what you thought.
Use the word POT,
P-O-T,
In pot of gold to help you think of things to be thankful for.
P standing for the people in your life,
Your mum,
Dad,
Brothers,
Sisters,
Teachers and so on.
O the objects,
Things like your bed,
House and shoes.
And T being the things you like to do,
Taking dance classes,
Playing sport or listening to music.
Being thankful for the people,
Objects and things in your life creates many more things to be grateful for.
You cannot do this wrong.
When you say thank you and do it often,
You open up the door for the universe to give you more things to say thank you for.
Once you get started with gratitude,
You will notice all the wonderful things you have in your life.
Remember the word POT in pot of gold to help you.
Thank you to all the people in your life.
Thank you to the objects and the things you like to do.
Let's do this now together and I'll be back in a few minutes.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Well done.
Thank you for doing such a great job with this.
You can do this any time you like.
It is helpful when you are feeling down or your mind is busy.
As it brings you back to the present moment.
It places you in receiving mode for more treasures to enter.
And puts your attention on all the good things in your life.
Make sure you fill up your pot every single day.
See you tomorrow.
