Practice S.T.O.P.
Before school, during lunch, after school, when feeling stressed, or anytime, think to yourself, S.T.O.P.
S – Stop what you are doing for a minute.
T – Take a breath. Breathe normally and naturally and follow your breath coming in and of your nose.
O – Observe your thoughts. When a thought arises, acknowledge it, sit with it and accept it. Notice any emotions that are present and name them. Research indicates just naming your emotions can have a calming effect. Then focus on your body. Any physical sensations like a racing heart, tense muscles or pain? Identify it.
P – Proceed with something that will support you in the moment. Whether that is talking to a friend or just stretching your shoulders.
