Feel Safe Cards / What to do when you feel anxious

As a therapist, sometimes when a person asks how they can feel calmer and less anxious, I will pick out some cards for them as suggestions, they can discuss and either reject the idea if its not for them or perhaps photograph it with their phone so they remember it.
For yourself, pick a card when you feel down or are overwhelmed, bored or don't know how to ground yourself.
Work with your therapist to choose your favourites, or experiment with ideas by yourself to see what works best for you.
Keep one in your wallet or in your drawer to use when away from home.
Shuffle them and pick one at random.

Card suggestions include going for a walk, ways to manage your worries, how to distract yourself, how to calm and soothe yourself.
