experiencing.
Mindfulness
• Mindfulness is a type of meditation in which you focus
on being intensely aware of what you're sensing and
feeling in the moment, without interpretation or
judgment. Practicing mindfulness involves breathing
methods, guided imagery, and other practices to relax
the body and mind and help reduce stress.

normal.
“It’s okay to feel this way.”
• “This is temporary and will pass.”
Find Support

a parent, other trusted adult, or a friend.
This can help you explore your
emotions and give you a fresh way of
thinking about things.
Problem-Solving

Take small, manageable steps to tackle the source of the
emotion.
''If overwhelmed by school stress, break tasks into smaller,
achievable steps.''
