The client can also draw a face on the balloon that relates to the feeling. The final step is to get the client to try to step on or hit the balloon. This will take a while because the balloon is half way blown up. Give the client plenty of space to try to pop the balloon.

For the coloring book I can not find a way to make the picture white again if I tap the wrong place to. Last thing: on color therapy maybe no flowers, and a different color every time you tap.
Thank you so much for your time. Keep your great games coming! First of all, ads. Ads for an Antistress game? Onto my main point, this game is a copy. The original game, that was created a year before this game, has a square for the logo. Ooh, and what does this game have??? The same thing. The similar games: lawn mowing, the pen game is exactly the same except for I think the color, the pond one, the drawing one is pretty similar, and the metal ball one is too.

Dec 22, Version 8. Ratings and Reviews. App Privacy. Size Take a felt tip pen and write your own prompts or questions on each panel of the ball.

Your thoughts play a powerful role in how you handle and view your stress. Your mind might come up with all kinds of negative thoughts, how your audience might react, or is your proposal good enough amongst other things. Have a look at this next activity, which might help you to understand the process:. When discussing stress with a group, ask them to think about something that usually stresses them out. Have them imagine the different consequences and reactions that may occur. Allow the group to do this for about 5 minutes.
This demonstrates how stress can, in most cases, only be in the mind. The more you focus on the negative thoughts, the more stress you will create. The key is to be aware of your thoughts and the consequences thereof. When a negative thought enters your mind, acknowledge it and tell yourself that has not happened yet.
The simple act of breathing deeply can help reduce stress levels. The simplest technique, is the breathing technique, breathing in through your nose for 5 counts, holding for 2 counts and exhaling through your nose for 8 counts.
This is a simple way to measure the stress levels of your group. All you will need to do is draw a picture of a thermometer on a flip chart. When you begin your programme or workshop, start off with asking your group what their stress levels are. They will then need to place a red colored sticky dot onto the thermometer. When the workshop is finished, again ask the group to place a sticker where they see fit, onto the thermometer.
This sticker can be green, and you will notice how many place their stickers further down on the thermometer, much more relaxed than when they started. There are many techniques and ways to manage stress simply, but when we are in the middle of a stressful moment, we tend to forget what we can do to help.
The best way to tackle this is to prepare and practice stress management techniques, ensuring they will harness these techniques when necessary. This activity is great to use with groups that are already familiar with each other. If you are providing a workshop or programme, use this exercise about halfway through, a good idea would be after lunch.
Assemble the group together and hand out a piece of paper to each member. Have everyone write their names on top of their paper and then add these discussion questions. All the answers and information is compared and can be copied to hand out to everyone, these can then be used if needed in the future.
This exercise brings in an appreciation and understanding of others needs. Groups become aware that everyone has different needs, nobody is the same and never assume such things. Flipcharts come in fairly handy at all types of workshops or programmes. In this instance, draw the shape of a human body onto a page of the flipchart.
Now, take different colored pens and mark off where you think stress affects the body most. These areas could include the neck and shoulders, stomach, and chest. Allow everyone to do the same, this helps people see where their stress lies and how this affects their bodies.
You can then discuss what helps to reduce stress, what does everyone do to bring down their stress levels. Discuss how you can bring all of these stress-reducing ideas and techniques into your life, making it habit, thus minimizing the effects of stress.
Ask the group what causes them the most stress. Some examples include work, relationships, and finances. Have participants choose about six areas of concern, then rate them from 0 to The 0 is no stress and the ten representing the most stress. During the programme, you can then come up with techniques and ways to deal with the stress issues written on the wheel chart.
Have your group write down everything that makes them angry. Then, have them right next to these anger triggers, what their reactions are. Next to this, have them write down what they should do, or what they would like to do instead.
