What the Different Zones are Good For and How to Use Music to Move Your Energy
I've heard people say that the "Green Zone" is the "Good Zone" and that all other zones are "Bad Zones." This is not true! All the zones, and our feelings in each zone are important and help us with different things in our lives. For example:
- Blue Zone can help tell your body that you need rest when you are sick. Blue zone is also a great zone to try to get to before you go to bed. If you are in the Yellow Zone before bed, it can be very hard to sleep.
- Green Zone can be great for focusing and doing tasks that require concentration. When you are doing school work, this can be a great zone for that. Being in the Blue Zone or in the Yellow Zone when you need to sit and concentrate can be challenging.
- Yellow Zone can be great for playing and having fun, particularly running around outside. It can also be great for Physical Education class. If you are in the Red Zone, it might be hard to play with other people or follow the rules, and if you are in the Blue Zone it might be difficult to move around and stay focused.
- Red Zone can be great to keep your body safe when you are in danger. For example, if you are in the road and a car is coming at you, you may feel terrified and run and dive out of the way. If you are attacked by a wild animal, Red Zone may try and help you fight to survive. Being in Blue Zone, for example, when your immediate safety is at risk, may not work as well.
Regulation tricks using music:
- To move to a higher energy using music, you can listen to music that has a strong drum beat and fast rhythm. I recommend getting up and dancing. This can get your body moving and raise up your energy!
- To move to a lower energy using music, you can listen to music that has a softer drum beat, or no drumming at all. For example you could sing a soft song or a lullaby, like "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." This can help lower your body's energy.
