"Going on Safari" can happen outside, in your house, in your car, and even in your classroom. Using all of your senses when you are in a space can help to calm you when having unsettling feelings. Finding the things you can see, hear, smell, taste, and touch helps bring you into that very moment and away from what is troubling you. Once feeling more calm, you can better approach what is troubling you and find or get help to find a solution.
