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 all feel pressure,
Whether it's in the classroom or at home.
We can sometimes be too hard on ourselves by expecting perfection.
Today's Charm Words are about celebrating all of our accomplishments.
No matter how small they seem,
It's important to remember that our value isn't based on how good we are at something.
We've already succeeded just by putting our best foot forward.
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 your 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,
Out through your mouth.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
One more time,
Breathe in and breathe out.
Today's Charm Words are,
I am proud of myself.
I'll say it first,
Then repeat after me.
Ready?
I am proud of myself.
I am proud of myself.
I am proud of myself.
I am proud of myself.
I am proud of myself.
I am proud of myself.
Great work.
Validating our efforts can go a long way in helping us feel good about ourselves.
We deserve a high five.
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.

See you next time.
