Feelings don't usually walk up and say, βHELLO! I AM FRUSTRATION!β π Instead, they leave us clues.
Which of these could be a feeling clue?
A. My hands get tight
B. My tummy feels funny
C. My brain says, βWhat if something goes wrong?β
D. ALL OF THEM
ANSWER: D β ALL OF THEM!
WHY:
Our bodies and brains can give us hints that something is happening inside. We don't need every clue. Even one clue can help us start noticing.
QUESTION:
Why are we practicing noticing clues?
A. So I can become a doctor
B. So I can notice what might be happening inside me
C. So I never have another feeling
D. So I can always be happy
ANSWER: B
WHY:
Noticing gives us information. Instead of only knowing, βAHHH! SOMETHING IS HAPPENING!β we can start figuring out what our body and brain might be telling us.
