Emotional check‑in
An emotional check‑in is a quick way to notice how you are feeling. It can help you choose a helpful next step.
Definition
Check‑ins might include naming feelings, rating stress, or noticing body cues. They can reduce overwhelm by making feelings clearer. Short check‑ins are often more sustainable. This is a supportive tool, not a diagnostic step.
Why it matters here
We promote gentle check‑ins as part of regulation routines.
