Lyrics:
Emotions make us human
But they can be confusing
And really hard to understand
When it’s tough to face them
You might want to erase them
Just take your feelings in your hands
AND STUFF THEM DOWN!
DOWN IN YOUR TUMMY
DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU FEEL MAD OR CRUMMY
"um"
DIG A HOLE AND BURY THEM,
"Excuse me!"
‘TIL THEY-
"Hi. Maybe we could explore some other ways of working with our emotions."

"Like what?"

Your feelings are important, no matter your size
Like a message or alert to clarify…
You may want to push them down or react right away,
Instead, take a moment and say:

This feeling is a message from my brain
I’ll give it time, I’ll give it a name
It has a place, I’ll give it spa-a-ace
All my feelings are OK

I feel angry, bitter, hurt, frustrated
Disappointed, agitated
Grumpy, hangry, irritated,
Defensive, disgusted, - - humiliated

I feel happy, cheerful,
Excited, playful,
I feel energetic,
Confident and proud!

I feel scared, worried, I feel anxious
I feel upset, timid, shy, or nervous
I feel sheepish, I feel embarrassed,
I feel concerned, terrified, I feel jealous

This feeling is a message from my brain
I’ll give it time, I’ll give it a name
It has a place, I’ll give it space
All my feelings are OK

I feel sad, melancholy, confused,
I feel lonely, regretful, blue
Heartbroken, hopeless, misunderstood,
Disappointed, overwhelmed

I feel love, compassion, nurtured, safe
I feel peaceful, tender, unashamed
I feel accepting, content, I feel inspired
I feel relieved, I feel satisfied

I experience emotions, but they’re not in charge of me
Emotions are reactions to the stories that we see
The story I tell myself may not be complete,
Just repeat:

This feeling is a message from my brain
I’ll give it time, I’ll give it a name
It has a place, I’ll give it spa-a-ace
All my feelings are OK
