Internal Weather Clock

My Internal Clock is a drawing using weather features to illustrate how a student is feeling.

Activity

• 1. Students are focusing on how they are feeling.  Allow students to relax and focus on their breathing ask them to breathe deeply into their belly, allowing their belly to rise and fall. If they get distracted that is okay go back to the raising of the breath.

• 2. Ask students to pay attention to how they are feeling on the inside.  What kind of weather features are you feeling now, are you feeling windy, stormy, raining on the inside or maybe a rainbow?  

• 3. Look inside and see what is there.  It may change one day the sky may be clear, the next may be cloudy.  You may feel stormy and restless inside right now remember later the sun may shine or maybe the sun will come out tomorrow. 

• 4. Check your internal weather again had it changed or stayed the same.  Can you draw your internal weather?  Try the exercise tomorrow and see how your weather may have changed.
