Welcome to Charm Words, your daily reminder to be good to yourself and others.
My name's Zola, and together we're gonna breathe in the good, breathe out the bad and use words to remind ourselves of our worth.
Every family has their own unique traditions and customs that make them special.
These can be things like delicious dishes, fun celebrations or special ways of doing things that have been passed down from generation to generation.
These traditions are ways of honoring our family's history and keeping our culture alive.
Today's charm words encourage us to be proud of the customs our community and family practices.
Having pride in our family's traditions mean we value and appreciate the things that make our family stand out.
We can share our traditions with others and teach them about our culture and heritage.
It's important to respect and honor our family's traditions, even if they might seem strange or different to others.
That way, we can reinforce the love and respect we have for our culture while teaching others about it.
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 my family's unique traditions.
I'll say it first, then repeat after me.
Ready?
I am proud of my family's unique traditions.
I am proud of my family's unique traditions.

Our traditions and customs are a part of what makes us special and they connect us to our heritage and family history.
We can take the time to learn about and appreciate these traditions and share them with others to keep them alive.
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.
