Emotions, Feelings, & Moods: Know the Difference!
Knowing the difference between emotions, feelings, and moods is really important for your mental and emotional health. It helps you understand why you feel the way you do and how to manage those feelings better.
How to Stop Getting TRIGGERED Forever
Triggers are strong emotional reactions to things around us, often because of past experiences. Everyone gets triggered sometimes, and it's normal! Our triggers often come from old, unresolved feelings. Understanding why we react can help us manage these reactions better. This video by The School of Life explains why we get emotionally triggered and how to stop it:
Now, think about a time when you were triggered. Do you remember what happened? How did you feel?
- What did you do when this happened to you?
- What helped you?
- What do you think didn’t help at all?
Share your answers to these 3 questions below to complete task 2.
Building Resilience and Mental Wellbeing!

Why wait? Let’s start now! The video below will guide you through a simple habit you can add to your daily routine: conscious breathing and mindfulness. It only takes a few minutes and can help you feel calmer and more focused every day.
Setting Personal Boundaries
Boundaries are the limits we set to feel safe, respected, and in control of our lives. Take a moment to answer this question: 👉 What does it mean to you to have boundaries? (Write your answer in 2–3 sentences).
Lets create your personal boundary map:
Imagine your boundaries like a map or a target, with the center showing your strongest boundaries (non-negotiables) and the outer areas being more flexible. Take a piece of paper and reflect on the questions below and write your answers. You can sketch your own "boundary map" on paper if you'd like!
🔴 Center – Very Important Boundaries: What do you absolutely need to feel safe, respected, and comfortable in a relationship or group?
✍️ Write down your answer.
🟠 Middle – Personal Comfort Zone: What situations or behaviors make you feel uncomfortable or cross your boundaries?
✍️ Write down your answer.
🟢 Outer – Communication Tools: What words or actions can you use to express your boundaries respectfully?
Here are some examples to inspire you:
- “I need some time alone right now.”
- “Please don’t joke about that—it makes me uncomfortable."
- “I prefer not to share that.”
- “No, thank you.”
✍️ Write down your own boundary phrases.
Now think about what you’ve written:
- Do your responses feel honest and respectful?
- Do they help protect your wellbeing while also being fair to others?
- What is one thing you will try to do this week to better protect your personal boundaries?
Creating Supportive Environments
How to become a “safe person” for others, build a respectful and caring group culture, and take care of your own mental wellbeing? Let's get deep into practice. Take a piece of paper and pen.
Step 1: What Is a ‘Safe Person’?
A safe person is someone you feel comfortable around—someone who listens, respects, and supports without judgment.💬
Think about it... In your opinion, what does a safe person look like? (Write a few words or short sentences)
Now answer these guiding questions:
- What kind of attitude does a safe person have?
- How does a safe person make you feel?What does a safe person not do?
- A safe person might change depending on the group or situation. What we need from others can change over time too—and that’s okay.
Step 2: Build Your Wellness Toolbox
Let’s take a few minutes to create your personal wellness toolbox. This will help you understand what supports your wellbeing—and where to turn if you need help. Split your paper, and answer these 3 parts:
Step 3: You Help Create Safe Spaces
You don’t have to be a therapist to be a safe person. Simply listening, respecting others, and accepting differences can make someone feel seen and safe.
How can you be a safe person for someone else this week? Think of a simple action: listening better, not interrupting, checking in on someone… write down your answer to complete task 6.
Reflection: A Letter to My Future Self
To reflect on your journey, remind yourself of what you’ve learned about mental wellbeing, and give your future self encouragement and advice for the road ahead. Imagine it’s one year from now. You’re writing a letter to yourself that will arrive in the future—like a little time capsule full of kindness and wisdom.
In your letter, answer these guiding questions:
- How are you feeling today?
What emotions or thoughts are present after finishing this learning activity?
- What have you learned about your mental wellbeing that you want to remember?
What was helpful? What made you feel good or seen?
- What advice do you want to give yourself for hard days?
What will you need to hear when things get tough? Offer future-you some caring advice
- What do you hope you’ll be doing in a year to take care of yourself?
This could be a healthy habit, a goal, or just a way of being. Your wishes or intentions.
Finish your letter:
- Sign your name
- Add today’s dateIf you like, give the letter a title or draw a small symbol to represent it.
Tip: You can type it, write it in a journal, or even use a free online tool like FutureMe.org to email it to yourself in 12 months.
