1. Zones of Regulation

2. WHAT ARE THE ZONES?
There are four zones to describe how your brain and body feel.
It is okay to be in all zones sometimes. There is no ‘bad’ zone.
Our goal is to identify our feelings and thoughts so we can self- regulate into the green zone.

3. The Zones Introduction
The Zones by Rachel Rodia:

4. Blue Zone
Your body is running slow, such as when you are tired, sick, sad or bored.

5. Green Zone
Like a green light, you are “good to go.” You body may feel happy, calm and focused.

6. Yellow Zone
This zone describes when you start to loose control, such as when you are frustrated, anxious, worried, silly or surprised. Use caution when you are in this zone.

7. Red Zone
This zone is for extreme emotions such as anger, terror and aggression. When you are in this zone, you are out of control, have trouble making good decisions and must STOP!

25. Triggers
Triggers are things that bother us that may cause us to become less regulated. We may go into the yellow or red zones.
