What & Why

Feelings are what we feel on the inside. Different things that happen can cause different feelings. For example, getting a hug might make you feel happy, but falling down might make you feel sad.Thinking about what happened right before you felt a big feeling helps you understand why you feel that way. This is a superpower that helps you manage your mood!
