Healthy ways to show anger/unhealthy ways to show anger

How to relax Bubble breathing Snake breath Volcano breath Flower breath

How to relax Volcano Breath Bear Breath: Imagine a bear hibernating. Inhale through the nose, pause; exhale out the nose, pause. Breathe in to a count of 3 or 4, pause for a count of 1 or 2; breath out for a count of 3 or 4, pause for a count of 1 or 2. Repeat a few times. Volcano Breath Bring your hands to your heart in a prayer pose. Extend your hands straight up to the sky while inhaling deeply, and letting the hands fall to the sides during long, deep exhales.

How to relax Bunny Breath: Take three quick sniffs in the nose and one long exhale out the nose. Pretend to be bunnies, sniffing the air for other bunnies, carrots to eat, or safety.

The Inside story Many years ago, people had to fight to keep safe. When they felt angry or afraid, their bodies got ready to fight, or run away and hide.

The Inside story Our brains still get our bodies ready to fight or run away if we are angry or frightened or worried.

My brain gets my body ready to fight or run away My brain feels My eyes feel My face feels My shoulders feel My tummy feels My hands feel My feet feel

But: we don’t need to protect our bodies from danger every time we feel angry or worried –why? Most things that make us feel angry or upset are not dangerous for our bodies and we don’t need protection from them.

When my body gets ready to fight or run away….

The inside story- take your anger to a thinking place Talk about it Its ok to feel angry Don’t hurt other people Don’t hurt yourself Don’t break things

My happy thoughts

We need to think about our feelings and our behaviour. Asking for “Time Out” We need to think about our feelings and our behaviour.

Asking for “Time Out” our feelings are inside and our behaviour is out.

Using my “Time Out” I think about my feelings inside, then I can talk, draw or write my feelings out. Do tell an adult Remember, no hurting people and no breaking things.

Why should I tell an adult? Because …
