🌈 Feeling Worried

Introduction

Sometimes we feel Worried. It is a feeling that makes our tummy feel flutter‑flutter, like tiny butterflies. Let’s learn what worried feels like and how we can help it go away.

1. What Worried Looks Like

• Worried feels Tight like a little knot in the chest.
• It can make our thoughts go “hush hush” and say “what if?” over and over.
• Imagine a Blue Balloon that is a bit too full— it wobbles and wobbles.

2. Counting the Worried Thoughts

When worried comes, we can count together:

1️⃣ Take a big breath in.
2️⃣ Count “one, two, three” while blowing the air out slowly.

Each number helps the worried feeling get softer, like a cloud that drifts away.

3. Turning Worried into Calm

• Listen: Hear the soft “shhh” of a gentle wind.
• Touch: Feel a favorite soft stuffed animal.
• Say: “I am safe. I am okay.”

Repeating these words three times can turn the worried knot into a calm smile.
