School Pressure — Part 3

Your idea is growing! You are on step 260 of your CEO journey.

Today you will explore School Pressure and finish with one action you can use in real life.

Simple explanation

• School Pressure helps you notice what your mind and body need, then choose a safe next step.
• A strong first move is to pause, name what you notice, and choose one coping tool or trusted person.
• You are looking for a small change in your body, thoughts, or ability to continue, not a perfect answer on the first try.

Real-world example

Before presenting, Sam notices a fast heartbeat, names the feeling as worry, takes five slow breaths, and asks a teacher to practice once together.

Vocabulary
