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.
Going to school and learning new things can help us achieve our goals, whether we want to become a doctor, an astronaut or a teacher.
Let's keep in mind that education is not just about getting good grades or passing tests.
It's also about developing important skills like critical thinking, creativity, and problem solving.
These skills will help us in all areas of our lives, from making new friends to solving complex problems in our future career.
Today's charm words encourage us to constantly explore and grow through learning.
When we're in school, let's try our best to pay attention, ask questions, and participate in class.
This will help us learn more and get better grades.
There are many ways to make the most of our education outside of school, too.
For example, we can read books, watch educational videos or even visit museums and science centers to learn more about the world around us.
We can also talk to our parents, teachers or other adults about their experiences and what they've learned throughout their lives.
Remember, learning is a lifelong process, and there's always something new to discover.
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.
And breathe out.
Today's charm words are, I will make the most of my education.
I'll say it first, then repeat after me.
Ready?
I will make the most of my education.
I will make the most of my education.
Good job!
Whether we're taking notes in class or walking through a history museum, let's soak in the information around us.
By making the most of our education, we'll be setting ourselves up for a bright future full of opportunities and possibilities.
So be curious, ask questions, and never stop learning.
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!
