This tool can provide practical ways to address overwhelm, stress and anxiety for an individual or a group, either preemptively or when they arise. Most of the suggested activities will be most effective if practiced on a regular basis, as they help expand our own window of tolerance to multiple emotions over time. All activities can be done in groups or individually. As a teacher, you may want to practice them regularly so as to help you regulate your emotions. Once you know the activities well, it will also be easier for you to judge which activities to suggest to your students when a need arises.
