The Zones Of Regulation:
Did you know that their a 4 Zones/Emotions that we use in our everyday life. The emotions are Blue - which is sad, Green - which is happy, Yellow - which is excited and Red - which is angry. I will be talking about these four different Zones/Emotions so keep reading for more information!
BLUE ZONE:
The first Zone is the Blue Zone. Many people are in this kind of Zone when they are going through hard times, when you are bored or when you are tired. This means that you don’t want to interact with people around you or your friends and you don’t want to talk to anyone. For example sharing your emotions with your friends so they know what you going through or just have a sleep so when you wake up feeling great. The effect of this is that when you feel sad or tired, you start to go in your own world but if you start exercising then you will be in a better mood and be ready for learning!
GREEN ZONE:
The Second Zone is the Green Zone. This Zone is all about being happy and focusing on your work or things that are important. This means that you might start off your day in a happy mood because you had a good sleep or a good breakfast. For example, you might be feeling happy all day then you start to feel a little bit tired after school because of all the work you have been doing, then you will start feeling happy again. The effect of is if you share your feelings with others, then you will feel like you're in the GREEN ZONE.
YELLOW ZONE:
The third Zone is the Yellow Zone. Being silly and too excited, this is what the Yellow Zone is for. It’s important that you keep in the Green Zone but some people can be in this Zone too. This means that you start to kind of go overboard with your laughing, jokes or anything that makes you excited. For example you hear a really fun joke and your whole class starts laughing, but then when your teacher tells you to stop, your the only person laughing really loud. That’s why it’s best to be excited but not to much or otherwise it can affect your learning. The effect of this is that you get to have fun and share your laughter with your friends or family.
RED ZONE:
And the last Zone is the Red Zone. The Red Zone is all your anger and madness. Heaps and heaps of people get angry all the time like when they don’t get it their way or when they get into a fight, things like that. This means that putting all your anger on others is not the right thing to do. For example say you get mad because you couldn’t find your netbook at school. What would you do? The effect of this is to talk to you friends of family so you get all your anger off your back!
Conclusion:
This is why we have the 4 Zones. Thanks for reading and I hope you stay on the GREEN ZONE!
