Soul Sustenance: Discard Damaging Thoughts

This is a trick that can work for kids and adults. It sounds cheesy, but the research backs it up. The next time you're stressed or have a negative thought eating away at you, throw it away - literally. Write it down (little kids can draw a picture) and then shred it, tear it, throw it away, burn it in a bonfire - whatever. The physical act of throwing it away can help our minds let go.
