Time to Unworry

Worries are annoying, but they are also normal, and unfortunately pretty common. EVERYONE worries at some point, and some of us worry a lot.

Worrying is not a bad thing, and often it can help you do a good job or be a better person. But it is important to be able to cope with worries so they don't stop you living life.

Here are a few fun, mindful activities to help children and adults UNWORRY! They will help calm you down and distract you, and place your worries somewhere instead of letting them hang around in your head.

Design your own Unworry Island, a place you can imagine and visit whenever you need to.

Immerse yourself in doodling and drawing, and turn these splurges of paint into other things - from creatures and aliens to hats, cars and flowers.

It can be really helpful to think about your worries as a character, completely separate from yourself. Psychologists call this unworry technique EXTERNALISING.

If your head is full of noise, try a distracting Sense Safari. When you are outside, focus on what you can see, smell, hear and feel.

This inspiring write-in book is an unworry toolkit, full of things to calm you down and places to put your worries - and we all worry! Activities include creating a worry box, making a mood grid and mindfulness activities such as colouring, doodling and mazes. Written with the help of a psychologist, there are links to websites for tips, advice and support too. You can find more activities in the pack below.
