Doing something creative can really help to distract your mind and stop you thinking about your worries. Things like doodling, colouring, painting or writing an epic adventure story, can all help you to feel better. Sometimes we just need something to focus our mind on. You don't have to be brilliant at art either. Drawing doesn't have to be perfect as it is personal to you. You might even want to draw your worry and then throw straight into the bin! If you haven't got many art materials at home, speak to your parents or your class teacher; a normal pencil and some scrap paper will do just fine! 

Reading a book can transport you to different places! Whether that is Narnia, Hogwarts or Wonderland, you can choose where you go just by simply picking up a book. If you don't like reading then you probably haven't found the right book yet. There are so many wonderful books to choose from. Try not to judge them by their covers - it's what is on the pages that really counts.
