My Body Today

‍‍
Welcome to My Body Today!

This interactive body check-in game helps kids and teens tune into how their body feels in the moment. It’s a great way to build awareness of physical sensations, recognize where emotions might be showing up in the body, and support mindfulness and regulation.

To get started, enter My Body Today. On the left side of the screen, you’ll find a playlist of ambient sounds, nature sounds, and calming music. Have your client choose something that helps them feel focused and grounded before beginning the check-in.

On the right is the Body Check-In Tool, a full-body silhouette with circles placed across different body areas. Your client can click on a body part or drag a circle to the specific area they’d like to focus on.

Once a body part is selected, your client can choose how long they want to focus there—10, 30, or 60 seconds. Encourage them to pick a time that matches their attention span—shorter for younger clients, longer for teens or those comfortable with body awareness.

When the timer starts, invite your client to close their eyes and gently direct their attention to that part of their body. A soft sound will let them know when time is up so they won't need to watch the timer. Afterward, they can type in what they noticed—sensations, feelings, or even a simple “nothing” if that’s what they felt.

You can pause here to explore what they wrote before moving on to another body part. As they continue their check-in, they can revisit any body part at any time to view their notes. If needed, there’s a reset button to start over from the beginning.

When the check-in is complete, you’ll have the option to download a PDF copy of their body check-in, including their written reflections. This can be helpful to review over time, upload to their client file, or to share with caregivers if appropriate.

My Body Today can be used to support grounding, during emotion-focused work, or after coping skills practice to reflect on how the body feels. It encourages kids and teens to slow down, notice their internal experiences, and connect physical sensations to emotional states.
