Emotions and feelings in the body

Your body helps you notice how you’re feeling — it sends clues called “body signals.”

Feelings don’t just live in your head — you can feel them in your body too!

Try to notice what happens when you feel:

• Worried: butterflies in your tummy, fast heartbeat.
• Angry: hot face, clenched fists.
• Sad: heavy chest, tired eyes.
• Excited: fast heartbeat, big smile, wiggly energy!

These are your body’s way of saying, “Hey, I’m feeling something!”

If you spot early signs that you’re getting upset, you can use calming strategies before it gets too big — like taking deep breaths, moving, or talking to someone.

Learning your body’s clues helps you understand yourself and choose what helps you calm down.
