π Topic Summary
Our feelings are a big part of who we are! Sometimes, certain events or situations β we call them 'triggers' β can cause us to feel a specific emotion. For example, getting a good grade might trigger happiness, while losing a game could trigger sadness. Understanding these triggers and our reactions helps us manage our emotions in a healthy way. This is important for our well-being and relationships with others.
Learning to identify our feeling triggers and reactions can help us to better understand ourselves and how to respond to different situations. It's a journey of self-discovery that will support you throughout your life!
