Step 3: Add Decorative Elements

Step 4: Use Your Worry Worm
1. Whenever you feel overwhelmed by a worry, take out your worry worm.
2. Roll the paper strip back and forth to release the worry from your mind.
3. As you release the worry, you can also think about ways to address or overcome the issue.
Step 5: Reflect and Reassess
