Yellow zone
You need to use caution because you starting to lose control. You may be feeling frustrated, anxious, excited, silly, nervous, or confused in this zone.
Red zone
You are out of control, having trouble making good decisions and need to STOP (like stopping at a red light!).
You may be feeling very intense/large emotions such as anger, rage, explosive behavior, panic, or terror in this zone.
