Welcome to Charm Words,
Your daily reminder to be good to yourself and others.
My name's Zola,
And together,
We're going to breathe in the good,
Breathe out the bad,
And use words to remind ourselves of our worth.
We're all familiar with the golden rule.
It goes like this.
Treat others the way you want to be treated.
But sometimes,
We mess up.
If we feel like we're being punished for a mistake,
It can make us defensive,
Scared,
Or angry.
Today's charm words remind us to give ourselves and others grace.
At the end of the day,
These lessons help us become better versions of ourselves.
Isn't it so much easier to learn from our mistakes when we're given the space to make a few?
We have the ability to create that space for others.
And whenever we do,
We learn from it,
Too.
Let's do some belly breathing.
Then we'll do our affirmations.
When you breathe in,
Use your nose and keep your shoulders still.
Once your belly fills up like a balloon,
Breathe out through your mouth by just letting go.
In through the nose,
Out through the mouth.
Ready?
Take a gentle,
Deep breath slowly through your nose and breathe out through your mouth.
In through your nose and out through your mouth.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
One more time.
Breathe in and breathe out.
Today's charm words are,
I am forgiving.
I'll say it first,
Then repeat after me.
Ready?
I am forgiving.
I am forgiving.
I am forgiving.
I am forgiving.
I am forgiving.
I am forgiving.
I am forgiving.
Awesome job!
Let's be proud of our ability to make safe spaces for those around us.
On the count of three,
High five the person closest to you or clap your hands together and high five yourself.
Ready?
One,
Two,
Three.
These charm words are yours to keep.
So put them in your pocket and take them with you wherever you go.
