The Mooderators: Pizza Cool Down Page

I'm Skylar. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] Clara. And we're The Mooderators. Hi there, friends. Hello. We're so glad you're here. Sometimes when we feel angry, sad, or nervous, that can be uncomfortable in our bodies and in our minds. For those times, wouldn't it be nice to have a way to help those feelings settle and cool down? Funny you should say, cool down. That reminds me of a useful activity that helps me during those hard moments. It's called, the pizza. cool down. Want to try? Let's practice, together. Let's pause. Take a break from what you're doing and find a quiet space to get comfortable. And let's pretend our delicious pizza is ready, fresh out of the oven. Mmm, it smells so good, but it's too hot to eat. Now, are you ready for the pizza cool down? Try it with me. We'll take a long sniff in through our noses to smell the pizza for four counts. And now, blow out super slowly for six counts to cool down the hot pizza. And again, sniff in. A little more. And now try an even longer outbreath to cool the pizza. Hey, I noticed that we might be cooling down ourselves, even on the inside, while we cool down the pizza. Cooling our bodies can help us feel more calm. Let's do a pizza cool down one last time, just to make sure we're fully cooled down, inside and out. Sniff in. A little bit more. And blow all the way out. Our pizza should be cool enough to eat by now. When your body and mind feel cooled down and settled, you can handle some of those strong feelings and emotions, the ones that make your body feel tight, and make your mind feel seem really busy or stuck. Yeah, you're right, pizza cool down helped me feel more cool and calm. But now I am kind of hungry. Now that you're more calm, you may feel more in control. You can think about what choices you'll make next to solve your problem or help you have a better day. (SINGING) Let's listen to our feelings. What do they say today? Just remember, we're here for you. (SINGING) For you, for you, for you.
