Care Package #3 for Stressful Times

This care package is about a self-regulation technique called “Taking Your Emotional Temperature” and how it can help us manage stressful times. (You can find links to related posts down below.)

A simple way to take your emotional temperature is to stop once or twice (or however many) times a day and ask yourself, “How am I doing?” When you ask this, practice noticing any really powerful emotions.

You can also take these moments to do a quick body scan and notice any place in your body that is really tense and strained, which is often a sign of intense emotions.

You can also use journal writing and moments of silence to take a little more time to explore your emotions.
