Green – Calm, confident, focused, safe, social
Blue – Disconnected, don’t care, withdrawn, tired, bored, distracted, spaced out
Use the mood matrix below to identify which zone you are in. You can go to the zone’s webpage to find out more.
Try out the different exercises in each zone. These are designed to help you to choose the best response for the situation, take action when it is necessary and understand why others are acting in the ways they do.
