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.
What does it mean to feel comfortable in our own skin?
It means feeling good about ourselves on the outside and the inside.
Accepting ourselves is important because it helps us build strong relationships with others.
When we love ourselves for who we are, we're able to connect with others on a deeper level.
It's also easier to be kind and compassionate to others when we feel good.
Remember, everyone has something unique and valuable to offer.
And it's important to embrace our strengths and abilities as well.
Today's charm words remind us that loving ourselves is a beautiful thing.
Feeling good in our bodies can be hard, especially if we feel like we don't fit in with others.
But it's important to remember that it's okay to be different.
Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and that's what makes us all special.
If we're struggling with confidence, let's try focusing on what we like about ourselves.
We could also try setting small goals for ourselves and celebrating when we accomplish them.
We can even ask our friends and family for uplifting words if we're struggling.
Validation from our loved ones does wonders for our self-esteem.
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 comfortable in my own skin.
I'll say it first, then repeat after me.
Ready?
I am comfortable in my own skin.
I am comfortable in my own skin.
Fabulous!
Let's be kind and accepting towards ourselves.
Remember that self-love and self-acceptance take time and practice.
But with patience and perseverance we can learn to be happy and comfortable with ourselves and live our best lives.
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.

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