Lesson 3: Recognising Worry

The objectives of the lesson:

For students to understand that:

• The mind habitually interprets and 'tells stories' about what is happening.
• We can get stuck in our heads and 'ruminate' or 'catastrophise'
• Such rumination is not only 'stressful' - it affects our bodies and behaviour, from sleep, to sports and studies.
• Practices like the 7-11 and Beditation help us deal with this by switching us from 'thinking' mode to 'sensing' mode.
