60 Cards to Find Your Calm — Printable Calming Cards for Adults (PDF)

Description

Looking for concrete, gentle ideas to pause when the pressure rises, with no obligation? 60 Cards to Find Your Calm gathers simple strategies to try at home, at your desk or in a supported setting. Each card offers a small 4-step activity, a question to notice what changes and a kind reminder. You choose the cards that speak to you and can try another at any time.

The kit is an educational tool: it helps you name emotions, notice body signals, take a pause and discover several ways of taking care of yourself.

• Simple words to name emotions, without presenting any as “bad.”
