Breif Activity:

This interactive exercise helps participants identify their emotional responses to different situations by physically moving into designated zones in the room. As the trainer announces various scenarios, participants move to the area that represents their reaction—Comfort Zone (no emotional trigger), Stretch Zone (mild discomfort), or Panic Zone (high emotional response). This activity fosters self-awareness about emotional triggers and promotes discussion on managing emotional responses effectively.


Key Takeaways:

  • Understand what a trigger is and how different situations evoke different emotional responses.
  • Recognize personal reactions to different scenarios and classify them into Comfort, Stretch, and Panic Zones.
  • Explore coping mechanisms for stress and emotional regulation in different zones.
  • Reflect on how frequently experiencing Stretch or Panic states can impact emotional well-being and performance.
  • Learn strategies to expand the Comfort Zone while managing stress effectively in Stretch and Panic Zones.
