Create an image board of things that make you happy – a favourite holiday destination, favourite animals or objects you like.
Find a big sheet of paper or cardboard. Choose your theme, then collect old magazines and tear out images you like.
Stick or tape your images to the board. Perhaps you might decorate it too. Place your board somewhere you can see it for moments you feel stressed.
