Finn the Bear starts a new adventure today. With the sun peeking through the forest trees, bright patterns danced on the ground. Finn felt a happy flutter in his tummy, ready to explore and learn more about how his feelings made him feel each day.
In a sunny meadow with flowers that danced and bees that buzzed, Finn decided he would discover why sometimes he felt happy, other times sad, and even a bit grumpy. He wanted to know what these feelings meant to him.
With a skip in his step, Finn walked through the forest singing a happy song. Alongside a bubbly river, he found a trail of shiny footprints sprinkled with rainbow dust, leading deeper into the magical forest. This made him more curious to understand his feelings better.
While wandering in the woods, Finn stubbed his paw on a small rock hidden in the grass. Suddenly, he felt a little angry inside, and his face scrunched up in surprise.
Finn shook his paw, trying to make the angry feeling go away. He wondered aloud to some giggling flowers why a little bump could make him feel upset. The flowers seemed to nod, as if they understood his question.
Just then, Ollie the wise old owl saw Finn was frustrated and flew down from his tree. He sat on a low branch and looked kindly at Finn, wanting to help him understand his tangled-up feelings.
Ollie told Finn that feeling angry was okay and suggested that deep breaths and talking about feelings can help. At a pond with lily pads, Ollie showed Finn how to breathe deeply. As Finn tried, the lily pads danced gently, helping Finn feel more connected to his feelings.
With Ollie's help, Finn calmed down by taking deep breaths. He noticed his paw wasn't hurt much at all. As his anger drifted away, a smile came back to Finn's face, and he continued his journey, cheered on by bright butterflies in a sunny spot.
Finn found a big, comfy tree and sat down to think about all the feelings he had that day. He understood that feelings come and go, and it's alright to feel all of them. Finn felt stronger and more in control by learning about his emotions.
Happy with his adventure, Finn walked home along a path with smiling daisies. He felt proud of what he learned and was excited about how he could use his newfound self-awareness in the future. Finn is already excited about his next adventure.
