How Do You Feel?

Worksheet Description

The “How Do You Feel Right Now?” worksheet is a reflective mindfulness exercise aimed at helping students identify and understand their current emotional state. The main question, “Right now, I feel:”, invites the student to pause and introspect, articulating their emotions at the moment. Below this initial prompt, the worksheet provides a two-column table with the headers “Part of Your Body” and “How It Feels,” prompting students to connect their emotions with physical sensations and to describe these sensations with specificity.

Further down, the worksheet offers a paragraph of guidance on how to mindfully experience emotions. It emphasizes the importance of stillness and quietness, instructing students to pay attention to their breath as it moves in and out of the body. This meditative practice is illustrated by a peaceful figure in a seated pose, reinforcing the message of calm observation. The exercise encourages students to observe thoughts without attachment, allowing them to pass by as effortlessly as breathing. This focus on the physicality of emotions and the transient nature of thoughts underlines key principles of mindfulness, teaching students to engage with their inner experiences without judgment.
