Tracks Speaker 3: For me, self-awareness is so important. When I understand why I feel a certain way, I can handle situations better. Being honest with myself has helped me grow and make better decisions in life. Speaker 4: I've learned that you shouldn't share all your thoughts with others. Keeping a private diary helps me track my thoughts and feelings. It feels good to have a space that's just for me, without worrying about others' judgement. Speaker 5: When life feels tough, I try small things to help me heal. Listening to music or reading a good book makes me feel calm. These simple habits don't fix everything, but they make it easier to handle hard days and feel better. Track 19 Hi everyone! My name is Edigar. Welcome to our talk on feeling good emotionally. Today, we're going to explore simple ways to manage our feelings, especially when we're stressed. Emotional well-being means feeling balanced and capable of managing everyday stress and challenges. We'll talk about some easy methods that experts recommend for keeping your mind healthy. One effective technique is meditation which helps you feel calm inside. It is the time when you pause and clear your thoughts. Students whose daily routine is busy with a lot of schoolwork can benefit from meditation a lot. Another way is journaling. When I first tried journaling, I wasn't sure it would help. But now, journaling is a part of my life. It really makes a difference. This habit has made it easier for me to understand my feelings and handle stress. Experts also recommend spending time with people who you love because it makes you feel happier. When you are happy you can solve your problems easily without being stressed. |  | We hope this talk helps you find ways to feel better every day. Track 20 Speaker 1: My colleague Ricky organises art therapy sessions for teens in his free time. He is neither a professional artist nor a therapist, but his art sessions help teens manage stress. He says young people like group activities more as they also connect with each other. It's more than just making art; it's about sharing feelings and healing together. Ricky decorated the wall in the office with his mandala drawings. He also added a short text about how colouring mandalas improves the brain's intellectual, artistic and problem-solving abilities. All these inspired me, and I recently started colouring mandalas as well. At first, it was just for fun, but I quickly noticed how it calmed me down. While colouring, I forget about everything else and focus on the present moment. It's like my mind gets a break from all the noise and stress as I fill in the detailed patterns with colour. Now I am planning to attend his art therapy sessions to try different art therapies. Speaker 2: For me working with clay is the best way to relax. When I sculpt, it feels like I'm putting my feelings into the clay. Every piece shows how I'm feeling and helps me understand my emotions better. I love trying out different styles and colours in my sculptures. I kept only my first work as a memory in my room. After finishing, I usually give them as gifts to friends and family. My teacher put 2 of my sculptures in the "Student Gallery Wall" in our classroom. My family encourages me to sell my sculptures, but I think it is too early for it. Maybe in the future, I can earn money from my hobby.
