Drawing Thoughts and Feelings

For each type of thought you have written, choose a colour and draw a shape around it by making one continuous line around the word.

Try to draw the shape that feels right for each thought.

There is no right or wrong answer to this, many people will disagree about which type of shape is best for different types of thoughts.

Try to imagine that you can see some of the thoughts floating in front of you, with the shapes you have drawn.
