Feeling nervous face

Nervous (feeling jittery)

  • What it might feel like: There are butterflies in your stomach flying around, you might feel fidgety, or have sweaty palms.
  • When you might feel it: When you have a test at school, when you are trying something new, or when you're not sure what is going to happen. You might also feel nervous about the changes that could happen in your family.
  • What you can do It can help to take big calm breaths, breathing in through your nose like you are smelling a flower, and breathing out through your mouth like you are blowing out a candle. Also doing something physical like jumping up and down can help.
