Or in other words:

​

Step 1: Stop.

Step 2: Name your feeling.

Step 3: Calm down 

(in whatever way you want)

Step 4: Think of the best way to solve this emotion

Remember: We don't always have to avoid our emotions. It is always better to accept and face, and resolve them.

The first thing you think when you see this might be that you learned this in grade 1! Do I still have to do this!? Yes, you should have learned this in Grade 1, but it is still useful. Why not? It's easy to do, you can do it at any time at any place, without needing anything except for yourself. If you can't calm down that quickly, then you can count to 100.

​

You can have a chat with a knowing friend, or talk to a therapist. They can talk with you about it and can give you some suggestions, and help you talk your way out of your unwanted emotion.

​

All of these are just by yourself, and when you are by yourself, you can think about something else, then come back to it. Have some fun first.

​

Having your emotions written out can make you feel better, like a burden that was lifted from your shoulders. When you write them down, you can write how you resolved the mood, and when you have this emotion again, you know how to blow it away.

Music is a unique language for creating and communicating. It is always a reliable source of peace, and you can choose which mood you want to be in by choosing the genre. In this case, you can listen to calm music, or exciting music, which can uplift your mood.

​

Breathing is what you do every day, and most people will say that breathing doesn't do any help because it does nothing every day. However, you need to be mindful when you breathe slowly. The point is to get all the negative mood out of your body, imagine it, and you will feel better soon.

What do you do when a friend is feeling bad? Most people would say to say something nice to them, that's the least you can do. However, sometimes when you say something to comfort them, they feel more uncomfortable. That's because of your response! It might be deflecting, diminishing, dismissing, directional questions, or giving unwanted advice! So when you are comforting a friend, you should take note of what you said, and how they reacted, you will be better at giving helpful words!

What students think about emotional care:

Emotional care is very important because you need to make sure that your strong emotions do not control what you do, because if they do control you, then your actions might go with the feeling, and do everything that expresses that emotion for a long time, which might lose some opportunities, destroy relationships.
