SEEDS Technique: turn your weeds into seeds by bringing mindful awareness to your emotional distress.
🌱 S: stop and recognize your weed(s)-challenging emotions and thoughts (sad, scared, mad, overwhelmed…)
🌱 E: exercise your senses to help bring yourself to the present moment (what do you see, hear, smell…)
🌱 E: engage someone you trust to talk about your feelings (family, teacher, counselor…)
🌱 D: discover “gardening tools” to help you feel calm, confident, and relaxed (deep breathing, coloring, music, journaling)
🌱 S: see your flowers- take a moment to appreciate and think about all the things you are grateful for that being you joy.
