Understanding Emotions and Making Goals

Introduction

Every day, we experience different feelings and emotions. Sometimes they can be overwhelming, or they may be hard to understand. This handout will help you learn more about your feelings, set achievable goals, and find fun ways to express yourself!

Understanding Your Emotions

• What Are Emotions? Emotions are feelings we have, like happiness, sadness, anger, or fear. It's okay to feel any of them!

• Why Do We Feel? Our emotions help us understand ourselves and our surroundings. They can tell us what we enjoy and what makes us uncomfortable.

Your Feelings Matter

It's important to express your feelings. Here are some ways you can do that:

• Talk About It: Find a trusted adult or friend to share your feelings with.
• Draw It Out: Use art to express how you feel. Drawing can be very soothing!
• Write It Down: Keep a journal or write poems about your feelings.

Setting Achievable Goals

Setting goals can help you feel accomplished and empowered! Here are some tips on how to set achievable goals:

1. Start Small: Focus on one goal at a time.
2. Be Specific: Instead of saying "I want to read more," say "I will read for 10 minutes every day."
