I Am Brave

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.

Fears come in different shapes and sizes.

No matter what they are,

They can pose challenges if we let them control our day-to-day lives.

Today's charm words are about facing discomfort head-on.

Even when we're scared,

There are different things we can do to combat that feeling.

We have the power to cultivate courage within ourselves.

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 brave.

I'll say it first,

Then repeat after me.

I am brave.

I am brave.

I am brave.

I am brave.

I am brave.

I am brave.

Great work.

There will always be things that scare us,

But by nurturing our courage,

We can find ways to be resilient.

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.
