Thrive Time this Week
This week, during Thrive Time Lessons, we’re learning that our bodies give us clues about how we’re feeling, and we have special tools like belly breathing and positive self-talk to help us handle nervous feelings, especially during tests. Let’s make our week wonderful by practicing our coping skills – taking deep belly breaths when we need to feel calm, using words like ‘I can do this,’ and remembering that everyone gets nervous sometimes, but we have the tools to handle it!
