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.
We're going to breathe out the bad and use words to remind ourselves of our worth.
Pressure is a normal feeling to experience when we feel rushed.
Sometimes we can demand a lot from ourselves without even realizing it by comparing our progress to that of others.
Today's charm words are about treating ourselves kindly and patiently.
It's okay to take your time.
We all do things at different speeds.
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.
Breathe out.
Today's charm words are,
I'm working at my own pace.
I'll say it first,
Then repeat after me.
Ready?
I'm working at my own pace.
I'm working at my own pace.
I'm working at my own pace.
I'm working at my own pace.
I'm working at my own pace.
I'm working at my own pace.
Amazing.
Giving yourself grace can not only help you perform your best,
But it may also help you feel more at ease.
On the count of three,
High five the person closest to you,
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.
