Helium Floating Feelings

This exercise will provide feedback for yourself by reflecting on your feelings. Whether you are having a good or bad day, a reflection of your feelings will enable you to explore reasons why you are feeling this way.

Steps

  • Draw the template which can be found at the end of this ‘Steps’ section. Draw the balloons separately to the chart.
  • Take a balloon and write down a word such as confidence, focus, stress, or any other feelings. 
  • Stick these words onto the chart which you have drawn depending on how you feel in regards to a specific situation or task.
  • Then rate yourself on the chart. This starts off at a base level and reaches for space (see image)!
  • During the day reflect on these feelings and some may rise or some may deflate. Everyday is likely to be slightly different.
  • A facilitator can discuss these challenges or patterns.

Tips

  • This exercise can be used within different settings e.g. in education or employment. It is especially useful using this with children and young adults.
  • In an educational setting, this could be added to a wall with other students’ charts to monitor things like productivity. 
  • Repeat this process regularly and see how you feel during the week. Are there certain times of the day when you are less happy/productive/focused than others? Is there anything you could do to change this?
