What to feed your Worry Monster - Positive Thoughts

As promised, I'm back today with the follow up to yesterdays Worry Monster post 🐲 (if you haven't seen that already, I suggest you go back & have a little nosey).

Remember if we feed our worry monsters too many negative, unhealthy thoughts - aka 🍔🍟🍕- they grow 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿 and 𝗕𝗜𝗚𝗚𝗘𝗥 and take up too much space in our heads. Leaving no room for positive & healthy thoughts.

So what do we feed them instead I hear you ask......?

🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁 Caaaaaaaake!! haha..... ok maybe not quite cake, but sweet and nice things. Think 🍎🍇🍓🍉🍍 (all the good stuff)

💬 Maybe I can try it a different way

💬 This feels hard, but I can do it

💬 I should be kinder to myself, I'm trying my best

💬 It won't stay this way forever

💬 I've done this before so I can definitely do it again

💬 It's ok if I make a mistake

💬 What would my friends tell me to do?
