Zones of Regulation

Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it.  -Charles Swindoll

Being able to recognize when we are becoming less regulated, will help us to do something about it to feel better and get us to a better spot.

Each zone is compared to a traffic sign.  Blue is used to describe low states of alertness (sad, tired, bored, or sick).  Green is used to describe a calm state of alertness (happy, content, focused and ready to learn).  The yellow is used to describe a heightened state of alertness and often elevated emotions (stress, anxiety, frustration, excitement, silliness, and wiggles or nervousness.  The red is used to describe extremely heightened states of alertness and intense emotions (anger, rage, explosive behaviour, devastation or terror). Strategies are developed to assist with each zone of regulation.
