Stress Relief Exercise

The ability to regulate stress is a very important skill that Animago coaches help children develop. Building this skill helps children stay confident, solve problems without “drama,” adapt, maintain healthy self-esteem, and support their immune system.

Quick stress relief and reset 👇

1. “Yes, things are hard for me right now” — name your feelings and acknowledge them.

2. “Suffering is a normal part of life” — look your human nature in the eye: we all have hard and painful times; that is normal; it is part of life.

3. “I can be kinder to myself” — support and encourage yourself. Try to be gentler with yourself, at least today.
