Emotional Regulation with Plants

🌱 1. Daily Emotional Check-In

Each time you water your plant, ask yourself:

• What emotion am I feeling today?

• Where do I feel it in my body?

• What do I need right now?

🌱 2. Mindful Watering Exercise

While watering your plant:

✔ Slow your breathing

✔ Focus on the movement of the water

✔ Notice smells, textures, and sounds

This helps calm your nervous system and bring your attention into the present moment.

🌱 3. Growth Reflection

Plants teach us:

• Growth takes time

• Setbacks are a part of the progress

• Consistency creates meaningful results

Ask yourself:

“What small step can I take this week to care for myself?”
