[Speaker: Tish Jennings]:
So just take a moment right now to think
about something that you're grateful for.

00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:12.640
You could write some of these things down.

00:00:12.680 --> 00:00:15.720
Maybe you have many things you feel
grateful for right now.

00:00:16.520 --> 00:00:18.720
Maybe you're grateful for the job you
have.

00:00:18.720 --> 00:00:24.275
Maybe grateful for the colleagues you
work with, your family, your community,

457d493d-9287-43c0-b0c4-b295f9753c32-1
00:00:24.275 --> 00:00:28.834
your home, the food you have,
anything else that you might feel

457d493d-9287-43c0-b0c4-b295f9753c32-2
00:00:28.834 --> 00:00:29.760
grateful for.

00:00:29.880 --> 00:00:31.320
Just think about those things.

00:00:32.360 --> 00:00:40.560
Now I invite you to close your eyes and
start noticing this feeling of gratitude.

00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:44.360
Really allow yourself to feel gratitude.

15a87e54-edab-4f58-8a94-21e200dcddaa-0
00:00:44.360 --> 00:00:45.760
What does it feel like?

00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:51.400
See if you can really explore that
feeling of gratitude.

00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.117
If you're like me,
it warms my heart when I think about

78135230-b213-4c87-bd41-a80bd61d5769-1
00:01:03.117 --> 00:01:03.760
gratitude.

00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:06.360
I feel good when I feel grateful.

00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:11.493
So we do now know that when we
intentionally cultivate these positive

cdb4bb45-c79f-4ba9-9051-8ee63f9df74c-1
00:01:11.493 --> 00:01:15.480
feelings or comfortable feelings,
it can improve our well-being.

00:01:16.520 --> 00:01:20.175
When we're teaching,
we can notice when our students are

c5236c70-75cf-4936-aa9a-9c6ed3df90e4-1
00:01:20.175 --> 00:01:24.601
feeling these good feelings,
and we can point it out to them so that

c5236c70-75cf-4936-aa9a-9c6ed3df90e4-2
00:01:24.601 --> 00:01:30.052
they can learn not only to recognize them,
but to intentionally feel them and notice

c5236c70-75cf-4936-aa9a-9c6ed3df90e4-3
00:01:30.052 --> 00:01:34.477
what they feel like, savor them,
And then they too can intentionally

c5236c70-75cf-4936-aa9a-9c6ed3df90e4-4
00:01:34.477 --> 00:01:35.439
cultivate them.

00:01:35.880 --> 00:01:41.804
And this will help us all build a feeling
of connection and part of a a warm,

00:01:41.804 --> 00:01:43.400
supportive community.
