This new episode is all about appreciating our miraculous bodies. Our bodies do a lot for us every day and sometimes we forget to say thank you. So today we're going to thank our eyes, our ears, our noses, our mouths, our digestive systems, our hands, our legs, and our feet. Just like you like it when someone takes the time to appreciate you for who you are, your body likes it too. Get ready, bodies, we're going to appreciate you! Today's Affirmations: My body is one of a kind My body is just right My body deserves kindness and respect I am thankful for my body Best Day Yet is an AFFIRMATION podcast for KIDS!

We originally recorded this song in March of 2020. Now, nearly two years later, we still think it's important to wash our hands thoroughly and mindfully, so we're re-releasing this song as a tool for health and kindness inside and out. Whether you're learning it for the first time, or listening again, we hope you enjoy this song. What if instead of singing Happy Birthday each time we wash our hands, we sing a song that wishes ourselves and our world safety, health, peace, and kindness. We recorded a 20 second hand washing song to sing every time we wash our hands. This song was inspired by the ancient practice of loving kindness or metta meditation. There’s a lot of modern research that says loving kindness is a powerful tool that increases the well-being of both kids and adults. Special thanks to Kurt Gunn for the vocals and guitar. Check out Kurt Gunn at http://www.kurtgunn.com/ And thank you to the children of Aldo Leopold Community School for the chorus. Enjoy and please share! Today's Affirmations: May I be safe May I be healthy May I be peaceful May I be kind May all be safe May all be healthy May all peaceful May all be kind Best Day Yet is an AFFIRMATION podcast for KIDS!

This is a hugging meditation for kids, based on the practice created by Thich Nhat Hanh. Science says that kids who are hugged a lot actually grow smarter, bigger, healthier, calmer, and more resilient than kids who are rarely hugged. Pediatricians recommend that all kids get at least 17 hugs a day! We better get hugging right away! For this practice you will need a stuffed animal, a pet, a friend, or a family member. If you're in the car and don't have any of those things available, don't worry...because you can hug yourself! Today's affirmations are based on the way we feel when we get a really good hug: I am happy I am loved I am well protected Today is going to be a good day Best Day Yet is an AFFIRMATION podcast for KIDS!
