Notice how you are feeling
Pick a word (i.e. tired, angry, sad, frustrated) or emoji like the ones above!
Own your feeling and reach out and share it with someone. You say, “I am feeling ___!”
After you claimed how you are feeling, you can begin taking active steps to reframe…check out some tools on the next page!
1. How am I feeling today?
2. Who am I connecting with?
3. How am I moving my body?
4. What beauty am I recognizing or creating?
5. What am I grateful for?
6. Are my thoughts “cool thoughts?”
We can train our brains to have more “cool thoughts” to help us find calmness by repeating statements like these to ourselves:
This is hard, but I can deal with it!
If I keep trying, I can reach my goal!
Think of your own personal cool self-talk statement you can use during this time!
