Come on, Mina, let's go get the basketball court before somebody else does.
[Mina sighs] [whimsical music] Mina?
Hello?
What are you doing?
- Oh, it's such a beautiful day.
I was just taking a moment to stop and smell the roses.
- Smell the roses?
I don't see any roses.
- It's a thing people say, like an expression.
It means to stop and enjoy the moment.
[basketball bounces] Sort of like calling a timeout in basketball.
[basketball bounces] - Oh, I get it.
So you don't need real roses.
[basketball bounces] - Exactly.
Want to stop for a moment with me?
We can wake up all our senses.
- Cents?
Let me see.
I think I have a penny or two somewhere.
- [chuckles] Not cents like money.
Our senses.
We have five different senses.
Sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell.
[Mina sniffs and exhales] - Oh, I see.
- See anything special?
- Uh, the blue sky.
[wind rustles] - Yeah, let's pause and just look.
[wind rustles] - Ah!
The sky makes me so happy, I start to smile.
- Me too.
Did you hear the bird singing?
- Oh, I missed that.
- Listen again.
[bird chirping] - Ha!
Wow, I love that bird song.
♪ Doo doo doo, doo doo doo - That's awesome.
What other senses are we missing?
- Um, sight, sound, touch.
[gasps] Oh, the breeze!
- Ready to stop and focus on the breeze?
- Mm-hm.
[both sighing] [wind rustles] [birds chirping] - [sniffs] Ha!
Wow.
Not only does the breeze feel good on my skin, it also brought the smell from the bakery.
[sniffs] It smells so sweet!
[upbeat music] - [sniffs] I smell rubber.
[gasps] My trusty basketball!
- Ha.
What a beautiful day.
I feel wonderful.
- Me too!
It feels great to stop and check in with your senses.
- Did you see me stop and smell the roses?
We checked out the whole world with all our senses.
And you can, too.
Any time you need a break, just stop and smell the roses.
