OWN YOUR FEELINGS SKILLS

• I'm in charge of my own feelings. I let them happen.
• I tell myself, It's okay to feel sad, hurt, scared, and angry.
• I won't die from feeling bad!
• I let my body know about the feelings.
• I speak my feelings instead of stuffing them. Stuffed feelings come out in yucky ways later on.
• I listen to my body. My body is my friend!
• I feel my feeling. I call my feelings by name.

TELL YOUR FEELINGS SKILLS

• I talk about my feelings.
• I tell the person when I feel upset.
• If he discounts what I say, I tell him that I'm disappointed that he can't hear me. I remember that not every one can listen to feelings.
• I find safe people I can trust to share feelings.
• I let go of the scariness about talking about my feelings.
• I feel better after I tell my feelings!

MAKE GOOD CHOICES WHEN THREATENED SKILLS

• I stop and breathe to send oxygen to my body!
• I figure out what is going on.
• I use my firm words to say how I feel.
• I tell the person what I want.
• I leave if I am not safe.
• I take care of myself.
• If the first person I talk to doesn't listen, I find someone else. I keep talking until I find someone to help me. I deserve to be safe! I can call 911 or the Child Abuse Hot Line at l-800-422-4453 if others in my family or I am being hurt.
