Using Your Worry Detector

The Worry Detector is a tool to help you check in with how you’re feeling in different situations. It’s like a flashlight that shines on your feelings, helping you and your courage coach understand how your body reacts to worry.

How to Use Your Worry Detector:

Think Of A Situation: Start by thinking of a time when you felt anxious or scared—or imagine a situation where you might feel that way.

Check The Detector: Shine your flashlight on the Worry Detector to see where your feelings rank:

• Green: Not worried at all, feeling calm and relaxed.

• Yellow: Feeling a little uneasy or nervous.

• Orange: Definitely worried—your body might feel tense or your stomach feels funny.

• Red: Super scared—the most worried you’ve ever felt.

Talk About It: Use the Worry Detector to help explain what you’re feeling to your Confidence Coach. For example:

“I felt orange when I tried something new today. My stomach felt a little tight.”

“This morning, I felt red because I was nervous about school.”

Why It’s Helpful:

The Worry Detector is a great way to understand how your body feels in different situations. It helps you notice your feelings and gives you a way to talk about them with someone who cares.
