Tracking: Social Story
When I want to pay attention to my thoughts and feelings, I can use a skill called tracking.
Tracking is when I use my senses to focus on all of the things happening in my body and to my thoughts and feelings.
I can pay attention to things I can see, hear, and feel.
I can pay attention to things I can smell and taste.
I can pay attention to how my body feels.
If my body feels comfortable, it might mean that I am in my resilient zone or "OK" zone.
If my body feels uncomfortable or I have feeling I do not like, it might mean that I am getting bumped out of my resilient zone or "OK" zone.
I can practice tracking by telling people I trust about the things I am thinking and feeling.
The more I practice tracking my thoughts and feelings the easier It will be to use this skill.
