FROM MRS. MUNSON
The students have been learning: “my body tells me when I am starting to feel a strong emotion”. Often, we experience physical sensations that are associated with emotions, and we can learn to recognize our feelings based on our physical symptoms. These sensations can include tightness, numbness, agitation, and nausea. Being mindful of these sensations can help us figure out what we need to take care of ourselves. Take a minute, close your eyes, and do a quick body scan. Are your muscles tense or relaxed? Are you taking long deep breaths or short shallow breaths? Is your heart racing or beating steady? Our bodies give us lots of clues to how we are feeling. Once we can recognize these clues, we can work to name our feelings and find healthy coping strategies. Remember that “all feelings are okay; actions are okay or not okay”! Visit the website below for more information about feeling emotions in your body and how you can calm them: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/emotion-information/202002/emotions-are-physical
