Calm Down Time

Look at your body right now. Are you still? Are you fast? Sometimes we feel big, wobbly feelings inside.

When we feel upset, our body needs help to calm down. 'Calm' means quiet and peaceful inside. Try this: breathe in slowly — count 1, 2, 3. Now breathe out slowly — count 1, 2, 3. That is a calm breath! You can also give yourself a big hug. Wrap your arms around yourself. Feel your body get still. These moves help your feelings get smaller and softer.
