Counselor’s Corner
“Managing
Our Feelings”
In Guidance Classes, we are
currently learning how to manage our feelings (through the Second Step program).
The point is to notice how you feel throughout the day. At any one time, are
you feeling happy, nervous, tired, angry, excited, confused??
If you
notice you feel uncomfortable, try to figure out how you are feeling. Try to
name the feeling. Say it out loud or in your head. For example, “I feel nervous.”
Next, do
something to calm down so you can feel better. Three things we learn and
practice in class are do a belly breath, count, or say some positive self-talk
to yourself like “I can do this!” or “It’s okay”.
Sincerely,
Mrs.
Ann O’Hearn
