The course's suggestions made me think of the Color/Feelings Wheel, a tool that has helped me feel grounded when I start to feel overwhelmed by stress, and I like to share this tool with my students when they share with me they are feeling stressed. While looking at the Color/Feelings Wheel, I ask three guiding questions: 1) What am I feeling right now? 2) What do I want to feel? 3) What do I think I need to do to help me feel that way? I feel the questions help remind me to step back and reflect, to work on the things I can currently control.
