Managing Emotions
Start with You
How are you feeling today?
You can use the wheel of emotions to the right to identify what's coming up for you right now.
The more in-tuned you are with how you're feeling, the better able you'll be to manage stress and anxiety.
Anxiety + Depression
What is anxiety?
Everyone experiences anxiety! Speaking in front of a big crowd can make us anxious, but it also motivates us to prepare and practice.
When feelings of fear and distress prevent us from doing everyday activities, then anxiety may be a problem.
