What’s happening inside my brain & body?

Adolescence—that’s the phase you’re in right now. It’s like a wild roller coaster ride, full of ups and downs. Your body is changing, and so are your emotions. Let’s dive into the hormonal adventure:

1. Meet Your Hormones:
   • Your brain sends signals to your ovaries (those are your sex glands) to produce 2 hormones.
   • Estrogen and progesterone are the stars of the show (these are the 2 hormones). They’re responsible for your physical development as you grow and also influence how you feel. They basically have a big impact on our hormones.
2. Understand emotional Intelligence:
   • Think of emotional intelligence as your superpower. It helps you understand and manage your feelings.
   • Here’s how to level up your emotional game:
     • Commit to getting to know Yourself: Pay attention to your emotions. What makes you happy, sad, or angry?
     • Move Your Body: Exercise boosts your mood, because it releases something called endorphins and reduces stress.
     • Chill Out: Try relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation videos on youtube or yoga. All of these can be accessed for free on YouTube.
     • Get Enough Sleep: Lack of sleep messes with your mood swings AND this I believe is a big factor in why so many teenage girls can feel groggy and moody!
     • Talk It Out: Share your feelings with friends or trusted adults.
     • Be Your Own Cheerleader: Believe in yourself—you’ve got this girl!
