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.
Healing can be a slow, hard process.
Acknowledging a scary memory or mean words from a bully can be challenging to face.
But with a healthy mindset, we can work through the bad times to get better.
We can stay open to recovery by forgiving, talking about our emotions and letting go of negative thoughts.
Today's charm words focus on finding the will to mend ourselves.
After experiencing a painful situation, we have to allow ourselves time and energy to recover from it.
Because when we heal, we grow.
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 Breathe in.
Breathe out.
One more time.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Today's charm words are, I am open to healing.
I'll say it first, then repeat after me.
Ready?
Ready?
I am open to healing.
You did it!
It's important to recuperate our minds and bodies for our health.
When we mend ourselves from past hurts, we grow to be compassionate and content.
Let's do 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!
