What are 4 steps to managing your emotions? what does each step mean?

1. Breathe. -take a break to breathe in three, three counts. Inhale, hold, exhale. This calms you down.

2. Identify- Identify the issue/ conflict causing you to feel this way.

3. Listen to music- this is more of a personal preference, but when i’m upset or angry, I like to listen to music to calm me down and sort of distract myself.

4. Accept your emotions- it’s unhealthy to keep all emotions inside, with no expression. Maybe talk to a close family member, or friend. Tell them about whats going on in your life.
