1. WorkToBeWell – Resources

Know It, Name It, Feel It: Work2BeWell’s NEW Identifying Feeling Modules Healthy body image isn’t just about appearance. It’s also deeply connected to emotions. When teens struggle with body image, what they’re often feeling underneath is insecurity, shame, comparison, pressure, and anxiety. At times, teens need help to pause and think about what they are actually feeling, where this is coming from, and what their body needs. Emotional awareness interrupts the comparison cycle. It shifts the focus from appearance to internal experience, which is foundational to building a healthier relationship with one’s body.

Part 1: Know It to Show It

This module focuses on recognizing emotions. Students explore how feelings show up physically and mentally, and why understanding emotional cues is the first step toward healthy expression.

Part 2: Name It to Tame It

Module 2 emphasizes labeling emotions accurately. This module helps teens move beyond “I’m ne” or “I’m stressed” and develop more precise emotional vocabulary, empowering them to respond rather than react.

Part 3: Feel It to Heal It

The final module teaches healthy processing strategies. Instead of avoiding or suppressing emotions, students learn coping tools and re ection practices that support resilience.

2. Looking For A Fun Rally Game?

Start Planning – August 15, 2026

At a recent conference, I attended a session on Rally Games. I am always looking to find ways to engage a larger group in an activity and I learned of one that has become a huge hit recently! Granny Pants! ( I call them Leadership Pants 😀 )

In this activity people must get the beach balls into their team’s Leadership pants. For pep Rallys you could randomly toss our the beach balls to the students in the stands and they could be teams by their sections. I have even done it where the person wearing the pants was blindfolded! They had to focus on the voices of their teammates. here.

High visibility, high energy and sooooo many laughs!
