Untangle Your Thoughts – Mindful Drawing & Writing Worksheet
Help students pause, reflect, and make sense of what’s going on inside with Untangle Your Thoughts—a gentle, guided activity that supports emotional awareness and self-expression through drawing and writing.
 
This worksheet invites students to explore their thoughts and feelings in three parts: what’s troubling them and feels “knotted up,” what feels neutral or unclear, and what brings them happiness and joy. By sorting their inner experiences in a simple, visual way, students learn to recognize and name their emotions—a foundational skill for emotional health and self-regulation.
 
Perfect for social-emotional learning, quiet reflection time, or mental health check-ins, this activity creates a safe space for students to express themselves without pressure.

Printable worksheet with three clearly defined sections
