Self-Care Cards

We came across an article about creating Self-Care Cards for yourself that you can print off, design and slip into your book bag, purse or pocket. These little cards have really good tools on them that can help you through a rough moment.

One of the things I really liked in these cards was the grounding techniques listed.

When having rough moment, it can be hard to come back into the present and your body. Using grounding exercises can help you come back to yourself so that you can calm down mindfully.

Tell us if you decide to download the cards and make the booklet for yourself! Do you think this is a useful tool? How and where would you use it?
