This is a relatively short, but important activity to be completed in preparation for tests or other forms of assessment where students may be feeling some pressure or anxiety. It allows students to identify a range of personal feelings in a variety of academic and personal settings/scenarios and to identify triggers of negative or self-defeating talk or feelings. Students then identify images that help to ground them while dealing with the anxiety.
