Ash: Hi Noah, it’s me Ash. My favorite song is [sings Comfy Cozy]

Noah: Hello! I’m Noah and this is Like You, a mindfulness podcast for kids. I’m glad you’re here! A big thank you to Ash for singing your favorite Like You song for me! If any other kids want to send a message telling me your favorite song, or reciting your favorite affirmation, you can have a grownup send me an email at hello@likeyoupodcast.com. It was great to start this episode with singing, because today we’re doing round two of a special Music and Affirmations podcast. That means today’s episode is all music and affirmations. We did an episode like this a few months ago, and I heard from many of you who enjoyed it, so I decided to make another one! We’ll listen to a few songs and say affirmations in between each one. But first, I want to remind the grownups that this podcast is listener supported, and I’d love to have you join us at patreon.com/likeyoupodcast where you can get early access to each episode and other special patron perks.

Right now we’re ready to start the show, so find a place to listen where you feel comfortable and safe. Feel free to sing along to songs and say affirmations out loud, but if you’d rather keep those things quiet in your head, that’s ok too.

I’ll start with a short song about breathing I’ve shared a few times, called Smell the Flowers. You can take a long slow breath in when you hear me sing smell the flowers breathing in, and then a long breath out when I sing blow your breath like you’re the wind. Here we go.

Smell the flowers breathing in

Blow your breath like you’re the wind

Smell the flowers breathing in

Blow your breath like you’re the wind

Smell the flowers breathing in

Blow your breath like you’re the wind

Now on the count of three say I like me. 1-2-3 I like me.

I like you too. I’m so glad to have you here, and I love the energy you bring to the podcast. I am thankful that you are my podcast friend.

Let’s all take a moment to think about something we are thankful for as we listen to this song.

For beauty and for wonder

Thank you thank you

For my sister and my brother

Thank you thank you

For my food and the things I drink

Thank you thank you

For my mind and the things I think

Thank you thank you

Thank you thank you

For my family and my friends

Thank you thank you

For the courage that grows within

Thank you thank you

For a heart that helps me love

Thank you thank you

For the sun that shines above

Thank you thank you

Thank you thank you

For the people that I get to help

Thank you thank you

For my body and for my health

Thank you thank you

For the energy as I play

Thank you thank you

For the rest at the end of the day

Thank you thank you

Thank you thank you

Now let’s say some affirmations. Affirmations are words you can say to yourself to help you feel good about yourself. For these first affirmations, we’ll be joined by our friend Eso.

Eso: Hey! It’s Eso. Are you ready to say some affirmations? Listen the first time, then say it with me the second time.

I am open and ready to learn

I can do big things

I have courage and confidence

I am beautiful inside and out

I deserve to be loved

I am strong on the inside

Noah: Thank you Eso. Now we’ll listen to a song called Head to Toe. This is a very relaxing song. As you listen check in with your body from head to toe, and practice letting each part of yourself relax.

I breathe in

I breathe out

I wander head to toe

And I check things out

My head is loose My shoulders too

My neck and my tummy know just what to do

My arms and legs are letting go

Relaxing from my head down to my toe

I breathe in

I breathe out

I wander head to toe

And I check things out

It’s time for more affirmations. To lead us, please welcome our friend Mia.

Mia: It’s me, Mia! Will you repeat these affirmations with me?

I am proud of me

If I fall I will get up again

I speak up for what is right

When something is wrong, I can change it

There is beauty in our differences

The world needs someone like me

Noah: Thanks, Mia. This last song is a song to remind you that even when you’re feeling sad or lonely, there’s a bright light shining inside you, and you bring a special light to the world. So remember to let you light shine, and always look for the light in others.

Dark night

I cannot see the light

But I know there’s a glow

Inside me

Starshine

This little light of mine

It is always there, and I can always share

My light with you

Wherever you are

You’ll shine like a star

You won’t e-ver- be a-lone

In a sky filled with  stars

You shine as you are

And you’re bright on your own, but we shine

Brighter together

Starlight

I wish upon a star tonight

And when my wish comes true you will know that you

Are loved the way you are

When you

Think one understands you

Look up at the stars and you’ll know you are

Never alone

Let your light shine bright

Through the night let your light shine 

Thank you for listening, and singing, saying affirmations today. And don’t forget to share your light with the world around you. I’ve enjoyed making these music and affirmation episodes. Be sure to let me know what some of your favorite Like You songs are so I can try to include them next time. I can’t wait to spend some time together again soon. Until then, I like you, I’m proud of you, and I’m glad we are friends. Have a happy and peaceful day.
