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.
Without the bad,
And use words to remind ourselves of our worth.
We've got plenty in common with our friends,
Families,
And even strangers.
As exciting as that is,
It can sometimes make us feel as though we aren't unique enough.
Today's charm words are about acknowledging our individuality.
Even with shared interest and talents,
There's no one else like us.
We are special just by being ourselves,
And nothing can ever change that.
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,
Breathe out.
Today's charm words are,
I am my own person.
I'll say it first,
Then repeat after me.
I am my own person.
I am my own person.
I am my own person.
I am my own person.
I am my own person.
I am my own person.
Outstanding!
Validating our own worth makes it easier for us to connect with others.
On the count of three,
High five the person closest to you,
Or clap your hands together and high five yourself.
One,
Two,
Three.
These charm words are yours to keep.
So put them in your pocket and take them with you wherever you go.

Building new habits takes time,
So we'll be here every weekday to practice breathing and affirmations together.
See you next time!
