Taking Time For You, Wednesday, Second Period
"Hey, guys," Vanessa said, "welcome to Taking Time For You. I'm Vanessa, and I'll be your teacher. Now, there are a lot of reasons you could be stressed. You could be stressed because high school is hard and your parents are awful. You could be stressed because you have an undiagnosed anxiety disorder. You could be stressed because you're planning a wedding--hopefully that's just me. You could be stressed because your country is being run by a useless orange baboon and Houston is currently in the process of becoming New Atlantis. We're not here to judge why you need to step back and take a moment, we're here to learn how to do it. And, you know, to put that into action.
"So, why don't we go around the room, and everyone can introduce themselves, and share what's going on to make them feel they need to step back and take some time for themselves, plus one thing you do to relax, calm down, or take care of yourself. Then the rest of the period is free to do something relaxing."

Re: Introduce Yourselves!
"I am Sidon!" he said, striking his hopefully now famous introduction pose of a pump of his fist and a winning, shining smile. "The Zora Prince! Though it is still hopefully a long time in my future, I will one day be the Zora King, which puts quite a bit of pressure on my shoulders, and that can be quite stressful as a result, especially as many of the Elders of Zora's Domain do not approve of my methods and style. Add this to the fact that our land has been plagued by a great Calamity for the past fifty years, one in which all our efforts to quell have failed completely, and I imagine some release and relaxation can be quite beneficial to my well-being and state of mind.
"To relax," he added, "I typically like to go for a nice, leisurely swim or perhaps listen to some tales of the exploits of my fellow Zora or, even better, those of the travelers who pass through on their journeys."
