Building Resilience Skipper is feeling worried Skipper has heard from friends that there is a big monster lurking in this section of his river. The river has turned dark. Skipper starts to worry he is going to bump into it. What if the monster tries to sink my boat? Why didn’t I do this journey yesterday?
Building Resilience At times we all feel worried
Building Resilience We all worry about different things Skipper is worried about how he is going to handle the monster. The thoughts keep racing round and round in his head. They become bigger and bigger until it is all that he can think about. Ask yourself … What do you worry about?
Building Resilience What is a worry? Do You Know? 85 out of 100 things you worry about never happen Do You Know? Of those that do happen, it turns out we handle them much better than we think Worries are thoughts that go round and round in our head about things that happened in the past or are going to happen in the future. Thoughts are not facts. Thoughts are just thoughts … and can always be changed
Building Resilience If worries are not dealt with, they can sometimes get out of control
Building Resilience Try to notice your thoughts Thoughts are like buses. Lots will come along. Some are going in your direction, while others will take you the wrong way. Sometimes it is important not to jump on. You need to let some thoughts go by.
Building Resilience Stay in the here and now Skipper is so busy looking into the water that he misses the beautiful stars in the sky. Remember we can’t control the past or the future. Focus on the present moment and what is actually happening right now. Take a look around you. What do you notice?
Building Resilience It can help to write your worries down Write down everything that is worrying you. When the list is complete, take a moment to read it back. Then with great pleasure screw it up, stamp on it and pop it in the bin.
Building Resilience If you are struggling, it is important to ask for help
Building Resilience It’s OK to ask for help Skipper decides to ask for help. He calls his friend Buddy who lets him know that the ‘monsters’ are actually beautiful big blue dolphins who are completely harmless. Buddy also gives him some other great ideas to keep his boat safe in the water. Help!
Building Resilience It helps to talk over your worries Sometimes we need to share our worries because we cannot manage things by ourselves. Talking your worries over with someone you trust can help you to feel much better and put things into perspective. .
Building Resilience Try to remember that bad times will pass Worries, just like the seasons, will eventually pass. After winter always comes spring, summer and autumn. As day breaks, the river begins to lighten and Skipper can see to the bottom of the river. There is no sign of any ‘monsters’.
