Taking Time For You, Wednesday, Second Period

[stickitupmyjinx]

"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!

"Eric," he introduced himself. "Mostly right now I suppose I'm stressed about college admissions. And movin' to a whole new school again when I actually do go to college next year. To relax, I like to bake." The sheer amount of butter currently occupying the second floor common room's fridge was testament to that statement.
