1. BODY MAP

2. CREATE A BODY OUTLINE

3. MAP OUT IN THE BODY OUTLINE WHERE YOU FEEL THE FOLLOWING EMOTIONS:

4. Where do you feel HAPPINESS or JOY in your body? Where do you feel SADNESS in your body? Where do you feel ANGER in your body? Where do you feel FEAR in your body? Where do you feel COURAGE in your body? Where do you feel LOVE in your body?

5. Add other feelings that are coming up for that haven’t been mentioned. They may also decorate their body maps any way you want.

6. In one big paper, learners can draw the different activities or ways that help self-regulate, or those that help them take a break, cool down, and think more clearly. This can be a collaborative class activity. Learners can also come up with a cool or creative title of their self-regulation poster. This can serve as a reminder of their abilities to express themselves safely, to manage themselves in a loving way, and to ask for and provide support .

7. Tell someone you trust what happened and how you feel; Think of something peaceful (looking up at the sky, smelling a flower, sing a song, eating some fruit) or something you like to do; Squeeze or punch a pillow; Drink water Tear up some old newspapers; Count backwards from 10; Scribble on a big piece of paper; draw what happened; Sing; hum a song; Play a game; Do the turtle (pull in your head, arms, and legs and take a snooze in your shell); Think about something funny; Take a walk; Squeeze a stress ball (we’ll be making these another time); Talk to a friend; Write about what happened and seal it in an envelope; Exercise (go for a walk, play a game, etc.)

8. How does it feel to think about how we physically experience the different emotions ? What does this tell us about how our bodies react to our feelings? What do you think about your body map? How would you describe it? Can you describe what sensations you feel in your body when you feel those emotions? How do you feel inside when you are angry, etc.? Are there other feelings beneath your anger, etc.?

9. Our mind and body are connected. Our feelings manifest in our bodies. How we express these feelings is something we can learn about. Although it takes time to learn how to navigate through our emotions, being curious about our difficult emotions and trusting that they will pass is a healthy way to deal with difficult emotions . When we learn about them, we grow our ability to self-regulate and learn that there are many ways to do so. Self-regulation is the ability to manage one’s emotions .
