Welcome to Charm Words, your daily reminder to be good to yourself and others.
0:19
My name's Zola, and together we're going to breathe in the good, breathe out the bad,
0:26
and use words to remind ourselves of our worth.
0:29
Wouldn't it be nice if we could go through life with no troubles?
0:34
We could ace every test we take?
0:37
Or be happy all day every day?
0:40
However obstacles are a part of life.
0:44
Struggles may not feel great in the moment, but they actually teach us important lessons.
0:51
Today's Charm Words remind us that obstacles serve a purpose.
0:56
With every uphill battle we face, we learn something new, or gain a skill, which eventually
1:02
makes us more capable.
1:04
Let's remember to stay calm and dig deep, and know that we will come out of the hard
1:11
times mightier than before.
1:16
Let's do some belly breathing, then we'll do our affirmations.
1:24
Use your nose, and keep your shoulders still.
1:28
Once your belly fills up like a balloon, breathe out through your mouth by just letting go.
1:35
In through your nose, out through the mouth, ready?
1:41
Take a gentle deep breath, slowly through your nose, and breathe out through your mouth.
1:50
Breathe in through your nose, out through your mouth, breathe in, breathe out.
2:04
One more time, breathe in, breathe out.
2:15
Today's Charm Words are, my struggles make me stronger.
2:20
I'll say it first, then repeat after me.
2:25
My struggles make me stronger.
2:29
My struggles make me stronger.
2:34
My struggles make me stronger.
2:37
My struggles make me stronger.
2:42
My struggles make me stronger.
2:46
My struggles make me stronger.
2:53
With each struggle we're faced with, we learn more about ourselves and what we can accomplish.
3:00
We grow when we are tested.
3:06
Let's do a high five.
3:08
On the count of three, high five the person closest to you,
3:11
or clap your hands together and high five yourself.
3:15
Ready? One, two, three.
3:19
These charm words are yours to keep.
3:22
So put them in your pocket and take them with you wherever you go.
