Music Minute - Kelli Welli: Feelings Take Practice

 Kelli Welli’s latest single release is a short, gentle, a cappella song about feelings. Understanding big feelings, or even small feelings, is a process that we start in our infancy, but it’s amazing how long it can sometimes take in our lives to be able to hear and interpret what our bodies are trying to tell us is going on inside. And the message in this song is: That’s ok. Understanding our own feelings takes time and practice. 


So let’s talk about our feelings and let’s talk about the signals that might help us understand our feelings. And let’s not forget in this busy, distraction-driven world — it’s often in the quietest places where we hear or realize the most important things we need to know, including about ourselves. This song is for kids, adults, educators, anyone trying to help kids understand and learn how to regulate feelings, as well as a reminder to anyone going through confusing times themselves.
